Averages for Malaga in May

Malaga in May means summer is here!

The average temperature is starting to ease the mercury back up to 18°C (65°F) reaching highs of 23°C (74°F) and dropping to lows of 13°C (56°F).

The 9 hours of sunshine on average per day means that May is the perfect time to relax on the beach and work on your sun tan.

Make sure you have a decent sun cream with you though, as the sun's rays can be strong.

The average temperature of the sea in May also rises to a toasty 17°C, making it the perfect time of year to head to the beach and stay there!

There's still some chance of the weather taking a turn for the worse, though, with an average of 6 snow or fog days predicted for the month.

Malaga can also expect an average of 30 mm of rain over 6 days throughout this month.

The beaches of Malaga are stunning, check out “Playa de la Malegueta”, the closest beach to Malaga City and very popular. Golden sand and lots of restaurants and bars in close proximity.

Further along, the “Playa de la Caleta” is very clean and offers fantastic facilities.

If a family friendly beach is what you are looking for, then “Playa de Pedregalejo” is often described as the best option, with superb facilities, and clean sand.

If beach and sun are not your thing, then there are plenty of attractions.

Why not try visiting the Malaga Cathedral? With stunning stained glass windows coupled with modern wooden sculptures and only a few euros to enter.

May is also the month that holds Romeria of the Juanar Cross, which is a historic event with a range of activities held.

Malaga City has something to offer everyone, sun, sea, coffee or just a nice walk!
