The State Meteorological Agency forecasts a maximum temperature of 30 degrees and a minimum of 23 in Málaga this Sunday, with very cloudy skies but no chance of rain.
Sunday will dawn in Málaga with high cloud cover, but no rain is expected. According to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), the probability of precipitation is 0% throughout the day, both day and night. Temperatures will range from a minimum of 23 degrees to a maximum of 30, making it a hot day but typical for July in the capital of the Costa del Sol.
The cloud cover will reach 83%, a high percentage that will cover the Málaga sky for much of the day. However, experts assure that this will not result in rain. The wind, blowing from the south, will be light, with gusts not exceeding 15 kilometres per hour. For those with outdoor plans, the recommendation is to remember sunscreen and stay hydrated, as the thermal sensation will be high due to humidity.
The Climate of Málaga: A Unique Microclimate
Málaga enjoys a Mediterranean climate with subtropical influence. The average annual temperature hovers around 18.5 degrees, with mild winters where frosts are virtually non-existent and hot, humid summers. In July and August, temperatures often exceed 30 degrees, as will be the case this Sunday. Rainfall is concentrated in the colder months, from November to January, with an average of only 42 days of precipitation per year.
A characteristic phenomenon of the area is the “terral”, a dry, warm wind that blows from the interior and can raise temperatures to 44 degrees, especially on summer nights. This wind, which occurs in inland towns of the province, is not expected this Sunday, although the people of Málaga know it can appear at any moment.
For visitors, the best time to explore Málaga is from early May to late July, and then from early September to mid-October, when temperatures range between 18 and 27 degrees, ideal for strolling through the historic centre or enjoying the beaches.
Forecast for the Rest of the Province
In the rest of the province, Sunday will be similar. In the Western Costa del Sol, towns like Marbella and Estepona will have maximums of 29 degrees and partially cloudy skies. In the Axarquía, Vélez-Málaga and Nerja will reach 31 degrees, with a bit more sun. In the Serranía de Ronda, temperatures will be cooler, with maximums of 27 degrees and minimums of 18, ideal for a mountain getaway.
Farmers in the Guadalhorce region, who are currently in the midst of the summer fruit harvest, appreciate the absence of rain, although the ambient humidity may complicate outdoor drying tasks. For the tourism sector, sunny but not extreme weather is good news: the beaches of the Costa del Sol expect high occupancy this weekend.
Aemet advises the public to stay alert for updates, especially if engaging in outdoor activities in mountainous areas, where summer storms can form suddenly, although there are no active warnings in the province for this Sunday.
In summary, a typical July Sunday in Málaga: heat, high clouds, and zero chance of rain. Perfect for an afternoon on a terrace or a swim at the beach, always with sunscreen and water at hand.
