Weather across the region

Prepare for intense heat inland as Córdoba reaches 40°C and Granada hits 39°C. Huelva offers a much more comfortable 27°C for today’s celebrations, while Cádiz is the coolest spot at 24°C. The Mediterranean is a lovely 26°C, and though there is a 25% chance of rain in the Sierra Nevada, the rest of the region remains dry under partly cloudy skies.
