Weather across the region
Expect temperatures to hit a pleasant 28°C in Sevilla and Córdoba, though the Atlantic breeze keeps Cádiz a few degrees cooler. The Costa del Sol is basking in sunshine with highs of 24°C, perfect for a Mediterranean dip. Up in the Sierra Nevada, the snow has retreated, making it ideal for hiking in 15°C freshness. Nights remain comfortably cool, so a light jacket is still a sensible choice.
