Andalucia Weather


While Andalucía's coastal climate is temperate, inland the winters are fierce and summers scorching. In July and August thermometers can hit a sweltering 36°C (97°F) in Seville and Córdoba. From December to February, top temperatures hover around 16°C (60°F) on the coast and 13°C (55°F) in Granada, where nights are close to freezing. Powerful winds come off the Atlantic, and the east of the region is drier than the west. The strongest winds pummel Tarifa.
