Almería Spain Weather: Month by Month Guide for Holidays

In short, Almería weather is dry, sunny and mild. The station records around 250 mm of rain a year, spread over roughly 38 wet days. Even the wettest month, March, sees only about seven days of rain. From June to August there is barely any rain at all: one wet day in June, none in July and one in August.

Temperatures climb steadily from 17°C highs in January to a 32°C peak in July and August, then ease back to 18°C by December. Nights follow the same curve, from 8°C in January to a warm 24°C in high summer. The best months are April, May, June, September and October. January to March, November and December are the shoulder months, quieter and cooler but rarely wet.

If you are planning around a fixed date, the live forecast above this guide covers the days ahead. Longer outlooks, such as an Almería weather 14 days or 21 days forecast, are best treated as a rough guide, not a promise.

January and February are the coolest months, with highs of 17°C and 18°C, lows of 8°C to 9°C and only three or four wet days. March is the wettest month at 49 mm over seven days, though highs still reach 19°C. April warms to 21°C, but six wet days mean spring is not yet fully settled.

Almería weather in May is a sweet spot: highs of 25°C, lows of 17°C and just three wet days, warm enough for the beach without the heat of midsummer. June reaches 29°C with one wet day. July and August are the hottest months, with highs of 32°C and warm nights of 24°C. This is the time to see the Cathedral and the Museo de Almería in the morning and save the afternoon for the shade.

September mirrors June at 29°C, with three wet days. Almería weather in October is still warm at 25°C, though rainfall rises to 34 mm over about four days. November drops to 20°C and December to 18°C, with only two wet days at the end of the year. Across the Costa de Almería, this makes winter sun a realistic option rather than a gamble.

For June to September, pack light cotton clothes, a sun hat, high-factor sun cream and a refillable water bottle. Highs of 29°C to 32°C and nights of 21°C to 24°C mean you will rarely need more than a thin layer after dark. Comfortable shoes help on the climb to the Alcazaba y Murallas del Cerro de San Cristóbal, which is best done early in the day.

In April, May and October, take a mix of clothes. Days of 21°C to 25°C are made for T-shirts, but evenings call for a light jumper. A compact umbrella earns its place in April and October, when four to six wet days are typical.

From November to March, layers do the work. Daytime highs of 17°C to 20°C feel pleasant in the sun, but nights of 8°C to 12°C call for a proper jacket.
