The coastal climate in Andalusia, Spain is temperate, but travel just a few miles inland and the temperatures can be fierce; scorching hot summers and freezing cold winters.
During the hottest summer months (July and August) temperatures can soar to an unbearable 36°C in Seville and Cordoba. That’s 97° Farenheit! This area of Spain between Cordoba and Seville is often referred to as the “Frying Pan of Spain”.
During the winter (December to February), the temperatures in Andalusia stay at around 16°C or 60°F in the coastal areas. In Granada it’s colder, at around 13°C/55°F and at night time temperatures drop down to freezing.
Eastern Andalucia is a lot drier than the western side. Almeria province looks a lot like a desert; many of the old Spaghetti westerns were shot here. In Cadiz province it’s much greener because it rains a lot more.
At Spain’s southern tip (Tarifa), strong Poniente and Levante winds battle against each other at the point where the two seas (Mediterranean and Atlantic) come together. Tarifa is widely known as the windiest point in Europe.
