Weather across the region

Expect intense heat inland as Córdoba hits a peak of 40°C while Sevilla and Granada reach 38°C. For more comfortable conditions, head to Cádiz which sees a high of 25°C or the Sierra Nevada at 26°C. Watch for showers in Almería or the 30% rain chance in the mountains, but with the Mediterranean at 27°C, swimming remains a priority before the 21:16 sunset.
