A city where the sun never rests
The climate in Málaga is one of the main reasons why thousands of people choose this corner of southern Spain as a vacation destination, second home, or even permanent residence. Mild, bright, and with over 300 days of sunshine a year, it offers the perfect conditions to enjoy the beach, terraces, mountains, or golf—any time of the year.
For those staying at Leiro Residences, the climate is more than just an advantage: it’s a true lifestyle.
A Mediterranean climate with a subtropical twist
Málaga has a subtropical Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild winters and warm but pleasant summers, thanks to the sea breeze. The proximity to the sea regulates temperatures, and the surrounding mountains protect it from the cold inland winds.
- Average annual temperature: 18–20 °C
- Rainy days per year: between 30 and 45
- Annual sunshine hours: over 2,800
Seasonal temperatures
| Season | Average Temperature | Typical Weather |
|---|---|---|
| Winter | 12–17 °C | Sunny days, cool nights |
| Spring | 16–24 °C | Mild, with blossoms and clear skies |
| Summer | 25–33 °C | Warm, dry, perfect for the beach |
| Autumn | 18–25 °C | Pleasant, with slight humidity at end |
Daily temperature variation is mild, meaning there’s no need to worry about drastic changes between day and night, especially between May and October.
