[[File:Clima Castilla-La Mancha.jpg|thumb|right|Climates of Castilla–La Mancha.]]
The predominant climate in Castilla-La-Mancha is the [[mediterranean climate|hot summer mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: ''Csa''), while the  [[semi-arid climate|cold semi-arid climate]] (''BSk'') is also significant occupying most of the provinces of [[Province of Toledo|Toledo]] and [[Province of Albacete|Albacete]]. The [[mediterranean climate|warm summer mediterranean climate]] (''Csb'') can also be found, especially in the north of the community. To a lesser extent, there is the presence of an [[oceanic climate]] (''Cfb'') along the border with [[Aragon]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aemet.es/documentos/es/conocermas/recursos_en_linea/publicaciones_y_estudios/publicaciones/NT_37_AEMET/NT_37_AEMET.pdf|title=Evolucion de los climas de Köppen en España 1951-2020|publisher=[[Agencia Estatal de Meteorologia]]|language=es|access-date=5 December 2024}}</ref> 

Lack of a marine influence leads to much more extreme temperatures: hotter summers and quite cold winters, with a daily oscillation as high as {{convert|18.5|C|F}} on some areas.  Summer is the driest season, with temperatures often exceeding {{convert|30|°C|°F}}, and temperatures above {{convert|35|°C|°F}} are common in several areas. In winter, temperatures often drop below {{convert|0|°C|°F}}, producing frosts on clear nights, and occasional snow on cloudy nights. Most of the community has [[continental climate|continental]] influences, although the climate is not exactly continental, as the average temperatures in the coldest month are above {{convert|0|C|F}}. Annual temperature ranges can reach over {{convert|20|C|F}}.

Castilla–La Mancha is part of what has traditionally been called ''España Seca'' ("Dry Spain"). [[Precipitation (meteorology)|Precipitation]] in general is relatively scarce, even in areas with a Mediterranean climate, although there are areas that receive more than {{convert|1000|mm|in}}. Precipitation presents a notable gradient from the center of the region, where it does not surpass {{convert|400|mm|in}} per year, to the mountains where it can exceed {{convert|1000|mm|in}} per year, on the slopes of the Sierra de Gredos and the [[Serranía de Cuenca]]. The greater part of the region has less than {{convert|600|mm|in}} of rain annually. The driest area of Castilla-La-Mancha is in the southeast of the community, near the border with the [[Region of Murcia]], where rainfall does not exceed {{convert|300|mm|in}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aemet.es/es/serviciosclimaticos/datosclimatologicos/valoresclimatologicos|title=Valores Climatologicos Normales|publisher=AEMET|access-date=5 December 2024}}</ref>
