Weather across the region
Inland cities like Sevilla and Córdoba will hit 40°C today, so plan your sightseeing for the early morning. The Costa del Sol remains milder at 28°C, while a stiff breeze in Cádiz keeps the Atlantic beaches fresh. Up in the Sierra Nevada, temperatures are perfect for hiking, but the Huelva coast is the place to be for those seeking balmy evenings.
