Andalucía weekend weather forecast July 31-August 3: Mostly sunny with a chance of afternoon storms

Warm days, light winds and the odd rumble of thunder inland

Andalucía is heading into August with mostly settled weather across the region. Skies will be largely clear throughout the weekend, although cloud will bubble up over the mountains in the afternoons, especially in the east, where there’s a chance of a few isolated showers or storms.

Temperatures remain high, especially inland, with some slight dips and rises as the days go on. Winds will generally stay light, though it could get gusty around the Strait of Gibraltar.

Clear skies are expected across much of the region, with some cloud developing inland later in the day.

Light to moderate easterly winds (Levante) will affect the Mediterranean coast, picking up in areas like Almería and the Strait near Tarifa.
