After another week of summer heat across Andalucía, we’re heading into the weekend with mostly clear skies and a little cooling in the air for some. While inland areas are still feeling the warmth, especially in the eastern provinces, many places can expect a slight drop in temperatures, along with some welcome breezes along the coast. There’s a bit of afternoon cloud around the sierras and even the odd chance of a shower, but overall, the weather remains settled and very summer-like.

 

Thursday brings mostly clear skies, though there will be some morning low cloud around Huelva and Cádiz. In the afternoon, expect cloud to bubble up over the sierras in Jaén and Granada, where there's a slim chance of a passing shower or short thunderstorm. It will be hotter in places like Almería and Malaga, with temperatures climbing on the Mediterranean side, while Cádiz and Seville cool off slightly. Winds will be light at first but should pick up from the west during the day, especially along the coast and through the Guadalquivir Valley.

 

Friday looks set to be another mostly sunny day across the region. There may be a bit of early low cloud along the coast near Cádiz, and some patchy cloud developing over the hills in the afternoon. Temperatures will stay fairly steady along the Med, including around Malaga and Almería, but it will be noticeably cooler in inland spots like Córdoba and Jaén. A light to moderate westerly breeze should bring some relief, occasionally picking up strength around Tarifa and the Mediterranean coastline.

 

Saturday starts with some lingering low cloud in the west, particularly around Huelva, but this should burn off quickly. Most of the day will be clear and bright, though a few clouds may appear over the eastern sierras later in the afternoon. Temperatures will dip a little more across most areas, except in the western third of the region where they’ll hold steady. Westerly winds will be moderate near the coast and lighter inland.

 

The weekend rounds off with clear skies in the morning, giving way to some mid and high-level cloud across eastern areas by the afternoon. It's likely to feel warmer again in the west, particularly around Seville and Huelva, while elsewhere, temperatures will remain comfortably high. Light winds are expected throughout the day, with a gentle westerly flow along the Atlantic coast.

 

In short, It’s still very much summer in Andalucía, but this weekend brings a slight dip in temperatures for many, a breeze to cool things down a touch, and plenty of blue skies to enjoy.
