The air is thick with the scent of orange blossom fading as the purple jacarandas start their spectacular takeover of our city squares. It is that magical window where the midday heat is building, but the evenings remain fresh enough for a long, slow dinner outdoors under the stars. Beach bars are finally dusting off their chairs, and the festive spirit of May is everywhere.

Expect glorious sunshine across the region today. The Costa del Sol and Almería will feel a refreshing sea breeze with highs of 24°C, while inland Sevilla and Córdoba are already touching 30°C. High in the Sierra Nevada or the mountains of Ronda, the air is crisp and perfect for hiking, while the Atlantic coast of Huelva and Cádiz enjoys clear, bright skies and steady winds. It is quintessential spring weather: warm enough for the beach but fresh enough for exploring the white villages. Keep a light layer for the evening breeze once the sun dips.
