Weather across the region
Expect the heat to intensify today as summer truly takes hold. Inland cities like Sevilla and Córdoba are reaching a sweltering 35°C, making the afternoon siesta essential. Along the Costa del Sol and Almería, a gentle Mediterranean breeze keeps things near a comfortable 28°C. The Sierra Nevada remains cooler for hikers, while the Atlantic coast of Huelva and Cádiz enjoys refreshing gusts that are perfect for cooling off after the San Juan festivities.
