The maximum average high temperature in July was 34.c and the overnight low was 24.6c . The Terral wind has been blowing on the Costa Del Sol more than usual, which has helped push average temperatures up. Three red weather warnings for extreme heat have been issued during July.
The Terral Wind
The Terral Wind comes from the north-west of Spain. It heats up significantly on its journey to the south coast. The dry heat which the wind brings can often push temperatures above 40c. The wind usually affects the Costa Del Sol for two or three days at a time, though it can return several times during the summer months.
