This Thursday, July 2, Málaga will enjoy a typically summery hot day. The mercury will reach a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius, while the minimum will stay at 24 degrees. Clouds will be scarce, with a cloud cover of 37% during the day and slightly higher at night, at 44%.
The chance of rain is negligible: 1% both day and night. Those with outdoor plans can breathe easy. The wind will blow with gusts of up to 33 kilometres per hour during the day, dropping to 30 at night, which will slightly relieve the muggy feeling.
However, beware of the sun: the ultraviolet radiation index will reach level 11, considered extreme. Experts recommend high sun protection, a hat, and avoiding exposure during peak hours. At the beach, an umbrella and sunscreen will be better companions than just a swimsuit.
A climate of contrasts on the Costa del Sol
Málaga, bathed by the Mediterranean and sheltered by mountains, enjoys an annual average of 18.5 degrees. Winters are mild, with no frost, and summers are hot and humid. But beware of the terral, that dry wind which can shoot the thermometer up to 44 degrees in a matter of hours. Fortunately, this phenomenon is not expected today.
Precipitation is scarce: it only rains an average of 42 days a year, concentrated between November and January, often in torrential downpours. For those planning to visit the city, the star months are from early May to late July, and from September to mid-October, with ideal temperatures between 18 and 27 degrees.
In the rest of Spain, the climate is also varied. The country has up to 13 climatic types, although four predominate: oceanic, Mediterranean with cool summers, continental Mediterranean, and cold steppe. In the peninsula, the continental Mediterranean is the most widespread, with mild winters and dry summers.
Advice for the locals in Málaga
For the average Málaga resident, this day invites enjoying terraces or a stroll along the promenade. But with caution: the sun at noon is unforgiving. It's better to wake up early to exercise or wait until sunset, when the thermometer drops and the wind cools.
If you plan to go out by car, the heat can affect the asphalt and the vehicle. Check the air conditioning and bring water. And if you live in a high flat, ventilate early to avoid heat buildup. In short, a perfect day to be a tourist in your own city… with a hat.
Tomorrow, Friday, the forecast points to similar weather, with highs that could reach 31 degrees. So now you know: stay hydrated and enjoy the Málaga summer.
