Weather
The Costa del Sol has one of the world's best climates and more than 300 days of sunshine a year.
Most of the Costa del Sol enjoys much the same pleasant climate, although there are slight local variations.
Hot Summers
Sunbathing almost every day from June to September. Virtually no rain. Daily highs about 35º C and nightly lows 15º C. Shirt sleeve weather all the time evenings included.
Mild Winters
Mixture of beautiful clear, sunny winter days with overcast but warm days. Evenings noticeably cooler. First rains are late September or early October, can be heavy rarely last more than a day or two. Daily highs about 20º C and nightly lows rarely much below 10º C. Pullover in the day, jacket in the evening.
The western side of the coast is generally cooler in summer than the rest of the region because it's fanned by Atlantic breezes, which don't reach the rest of the coast.
All areas claim to have the best climate and many also claim a particular microclimate, but it's generally agreed by the experts that Marbella city has the best climate in the area.
