The climate of Málaga (Spain)
Malaga is the largest city on the Costa del Sol and is among the five
largest cities in Spain. The city is located in the southern part of
Spain in the Andalusia region on the Mediterranean Sea in the vicinity
of the Strait of Gibraltar. It is an old city which was under the rule
of the Romans, Visigoths and Moors before it was conquered by the
Catholics. Remains of the Moorish period can still be found here. A
nice example of this is the Arab fortress which dates back to the 11th
century. Just like other cities on the Costa del Sol Malaga has a
Mediterranean climate with warm and dry summers and mild and wet
winters. Subzero temperatures can only be recorded once or twice per
century. During most days minimum temperatures are 20 degrees Celsius
(68.0 degrees Fahrenheit). Summers are warm but not muggy, unless a
Terral wind blows. This föhn wind may cause temperatures to rise to or
even above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) causing it to
be unpleasantly warm in Malaga.

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:
