The climate of Costa del Sol (Spain)
Costa del Sol literately means ‘sunny coast’. The region was given
this name because of the many hours of sunshine and the enjoyable
Mediterranean climate. Sunny summer days with average temperatures of
30 degrees Celsius (86.0 degrees Fahrenheit) make the Costa del Sol
one of the most important sun destinations in Spain. When a so-called
Terral wind blows it may even get warmer on the Costa del Sol. This
föhn wind causes temperatures to rise to 40 degrees Celsius (104
degrees Fahrenheit) or even higher and causes an unpleasant feel. Snow
and subzero temperatures are uncommon on the Costa del Sol. However,
at a relatively short distance, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range
you can go skiing during the winter. With a bit of luck you can go
skiing in the morning during spring and go swimming in the sea in the
afternoon. The Costa del Sol consists of a large part of the coastline
of the Malaga, Cádiz and Granada provinces. Malaga is the largest and
most important city of this coastal region.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
