SUMMER has officially begun and this year sees a cooler than average start to the typically scorchio season.
After days of suffocating heat, the first days of summer promise to be milder than average throughout the region. Of course, this is southern Spain and the ‘mild’ temperatures won’t last.
In fact, according to Spain’s national Met Office, AEMET, temperatures will start to rise again towards the end of this week, with slight variations depending on the province.
Almeria
The temperatures in the most easterly point of the region will remain mild until the weekend. Today. Wednesday June 22, will see highs of 26ºC, rising to 28ºC on Thursday before dropping back to 27ºC on Friday.
Cadiz
The temperatures in Cadiz will remain mild, with highs of 23ºC and lows of 19ºC until the weekend. From Saturday onwards, the maximum temperatures will start to rise, although in principle by one degree per day.
Cordoba
The typically sizzling summer highs will drop to 27ºC today, Wednesday. The respite will be short-lived however, with temperatures gradually rising again to reaching 35ºC on Monday next week.
