           It possesses a continental climate, with very cold winters, in which sometimes 12 grades excel themselves under zero, and with scarce precipitations, which sometimes sporadic are of snow. The summers are warm, going so far as to reach 35 grades at the end of July and beginning of August, a diet of precipitations at this station scarce, characterized for the typical summer thunderstorms. The stations of otoñ and spring are the most rainy, excelling itself in these periods 80 % of the precipitations of the whole year.

           The area is formed by a big ancient miserable baseboard and, partly, covered by tertiary sediments. The biggest volume of these sediments is constituted by more or less lenticular layers of slimy sand or clayish. He emphasizes the alternation of layers both from limestones and from marls and, even, from calcareous concretions. Tubilla of the Lake and The whole Riverside basin formed during the mioceno, presents horizontal, softly wavy levels limited by the erosion distinguishing and turned today to the state of plenillanura.

           Apart from the agricultural products, there exist other species that they bloom in the zone. This way we have between the trees and the most common shrubs, the pine. We have two different species, the resin Pine (Pinus pinaster) and P. Mild (Pinus pinia). The oak that we have is the Oak gall-oak (Quercus faginea), the Holm oak is (Quercus ilex). In the black poplar we have several, between the what ones the poplars are since they belong to the same family, Lombard Black poplar (Populus nigra), white Poplar (white Populus), tremulous Poplar (tremulous Populus). The junipers, that it was we who call, they are known as Sabina (Juniperus thurifera), and the junipers (Juniperus communis) in this zone it calls him esquenos. On the firs, in the zone we do not have this species if it is not in gardens but not in the field. Between the plants arbustivas, we have rosemary and thyme especially.

    Springs


           One of the biggest treasures that offers us the Nature in Tubilla, is the big quantity of natural springs of drinkable water. It is an incalculable number of sources that can differ inside the municipal term, and someone surrounded with a beautiful environment.

           Tubilla of the Lake enjoys a privilege of which very few peoples of Spain can presume. The springs of natural water abound in the surroundings turning Tubilla into a village rich in this natural resource.
