The weather in Malaga in July
July in Malaga is equivalent to summer in full swing: Endlessly blue skies, sun & beach.
Summer on the Costa del Sol also means heat. The daily temperatures are around 30ºC and the night-time temperatures do not go above 22ºC.
It is also typical of Malaga summer to have the occasional day with Terral wind which raises the temperature to well over 30ºC in the blink of an eye.
This is a local phenomenon and is a dry and very hot wind. We have prepared a refreshing article about Terral and tips to combat the heat, we recommend you take a look!
What clothes should I bring for July in Malaga?
You can bring your favourite summer clothes, flip-flops, sandals and sunscreen, you will need it.
Everything that is light and breathable.

You can leave some room in your suitcase, you might want to buy a new item of clothing in the shopping centres on the Costa del Sol, which will always remind you of your holiday in Malaga.
