Marbella's amazing micro-climate & weather

Amazing Weather

Marbella is a major tourist destination and a popular resort city in Spain because of its sunny weather throughout the year. The temperature is hot in summer and mild in winter. So shorts and hats are needed in summer and a tee-shirt is OK for many days in winter. You may need a light jumper, cardigan or wrap for winter nights.

Marbella enjoys an unusually pleasant micro-climate bringing marvellous weather. This is due to it's position with the Mediterranean Sea and beach to the south and the Sierra Blanca mountain range behind it to the north. A truly fabulous sun-trap. It may be windy in the Straits of Gibraltar, there may be rough seas and waves just up the coast in Fuengirola, it could be blowing spray onto the Paseo Maritimo just down the coast in Estepona, but the weather in Marbella will be calm and pleasant.

Temperatures and Weather Records

Weather records show that the average day temperature in summer is 28º C and the sun shines for 320 days a year with only 45 days of rain. Rains fall on some winter days from November through to March but the average day temperature is still 18º C. Marbella is close to the deserts of Africa just across the Mediterranean, so residents value every day of rain to make Marbella the green oasis it is. However unseasonable, rain is usually very short lived. In July and August, you are unlikely to see any rain at all.

Summer brings average daily temperatures of mid 20's, with June being the coolest month of summer and then the temperatures gradually rise in July and August and remaining hot until the end of September. The sea breeze makes for a pleasant drop in temperatures near the beach, and the Mediteranean Sea is a very enjoyable 21 degrees. Autumn is the wettest time of the year in Marbella, November being the rainiest month. Rainfall stays between about 70 to 90mm until March before dropping off in the summer months. Winter sees average daily temperatures of 17 to 18 degrees with about 5 days of rain across each month and the sea temperature drops down to 12 degrees. The winters are mild with relatively little precipitation. Spring is a good time to visit Marbella as the temperatures just right for sunbathing, swimming and walking.
