Vigo and the area of ​​southern Galicia is especially influenced by the subtropical regime, while the fronts that enter the northern part of the Community are more influenced by the subpolar regime. The type of rain that affects the north and the south is different, the fronts that enter by the southwest, that affect to Vigo and South of Galicia, come from the Atlantic and are more of tropical origin and the fronts that can be associated to the north of Galicia, are by northeasterly winds.
