=== Climate === According to the [[Köppen-Geiger climate classification system|Köppen climate classification]], Girona has a [[humid subtropical climate]] (''Cfa'') transitioning to a [[Mediterranean climate]] (''Csa''), with mild winter daytime temperatures and cool nighttime temperatures, and hot summers. In winter, frost occurs frequently (41.3 days per year from November to March), but snowfall is quite rare. Temperatures in winter can drop to below {{convert|-2|°C|°F|abbr=on}}/{{convert|-3|°C|°F|abbr=on}}, especially during days with [[thermal inversion]]. Maximum temperatures in summer above {{convert|40|°C|°F|abbr=on}} are very rare. Average annual rainfall is usually slightly above {{convert|700|mm|inches|abbr=on}}. The wettest seasons are autumn (September–November) and spring (April–early June). [[Thunderstorms]] can occur throughout the year, more frequently in summer, averaging 23.9 days per year. but usually there still is a significant arid period.<ref>{{cite web |title=Climatologia.
