Malaga, Spain
mediterranean climate · beach · medium crowds · budget prices
Malaga sits on the Mediterranean in Spain, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the June peak reaches a 100/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 29°C — a solid base for a sand-and-sea holiday.
The year runs from average lows of 9°C in January to highs of 31°C in July. The wet–dry contrast is pronounced: 33% rain-day odds in March against 1% in July. Beach-warm afternoons (24°C and up) hold through May–October.
The seasonal arc is clear in the data: summer averages 30°C against winter's 17°C, while rain-day odds move from 19% in winter and 23% in spring to 3% in summer and 17% through autumn. In short: plan around summer if you can, keep spring as the fallback, and go into winter with managed expectations (its season score is 76). If your dates are flexible, October buys you 24°C warmth at the quiet end of the season.
