weather here, then you could always check out the Live

Flora, Fauna and Nature in the Sierra Nevada
The Sierra Nevada National Park covers an area of 86,208 hectares, making it the biggest national park. There are 14 peaks over 3000m with the highest being Mulhacen 3482m. The temperature range is dramatic with the summits under snow for many months, followed by a hot Mediterranean style summer which creates microclimates.
It has an exceptional variety of animal and plant life due to the combination of altitude and its proximity to the Mediterranean.
