Torremolinos is a famous tourist resort found on Spain’s notorious Costa del Sol. The town is found just to the east of Malaga on Spain’s south coast.

The sunshine is plentiful on Spain’s ‘sun coast’ and Torremolinos is no different. There is a wonderful Mediterranean climate that sees long hot dry summers, mild winters and more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Rainfall is low at about 500mm a year on average.

The Sierra Nevada Mountains rise up to heights of over 2000m to the north of Torremolinos and offer protection from cooler weather. Combined with the warm surrounding Mediterranean Sea this helps keep the winters so mild in the region.

Summer

Summer lasts from June to September in Torremolinos and the season sees daytime temperatures are regularly in the 30s. In the two hottest months of July and August have average temperatures of 25C that typically vary between the low 30s and the lows 20s. In June and September temperatures are mostly between the high teens and the high 20s and average about 22 or 23C across the month.

Summer temperatures do occasionally get very in Torremolinos, with temperatures above 40C recorded. This is rare but temperatures do get into the mid 30s and above each summer. Thankfully some relief does come in the form of low humidity and cooling sea breezes.

Rainfall is very rare in the main summer months of July and August, while June and September see very little. The four summer months see less than 10% of annual rainfall. Sunshine really is in abundance in summer and the days enjoy an average of 11 or 12 hours of sunshine.

Winter

Torremolinos enjoys very mild winters with average temperatures around 13 or 14C. The temperature can dip into single figures at night but only just and cold temperatures are rare.

Daily highs in winter regularly reach the high teens and even climb up to 20C during good sunny weather. The good winter weather makes it a popular place for people looking to escape the cold winters elsewhere in Europe. The coastal location means temperatures don’t get a cold as they do inland.

November to January is the wettest time of the year with between 80 and 90mm average monthly rainfall. Most of the rain falls in short heavy downpours, meaning that sunshine is still frequent in winter. Winter days see more than 5 hours of sunshine on average.

The Costa del Sol is sheltered from the more stormy Atlantic weather as it is on the calmer Mediterranean Sea but wet and windy conditions can visit Torremolinos in winter. This weather is not common, however, and is usually followed by good clear sunny weather.  

Spring/Autumn

Spring and autumn are both great times to visit. Temperatures are warm without reaching the intense heat of summer. Autumn is slightly warmer than spring but does see more rainfall, especially in the latter half of the season.

October enjoys daily highs in the mid 20s and November sees temperatures get into the 20s. Similar temperatures are enjoyed in spring. May is a great month, and arguably enjoys some of the best weather of the year; temperatures average 19C and there are typically 10 hours of sunshine per day.

Late autumn is one of the wettest times in Torremolinos with November seeing 84mm average rainfall. Even so, you’ll still get 6 hours of sunshine per day.

Sea temperatures stay warm enough to allow swimming late into autumn but you will find the water a bit chilly in spring.
