Torremolinos Spain Weather: Month by Month Guide

Resort · Costa del Sol · Spain

Torremolinos Spain weather follows a clear Costa del Sol rhythm: long, dry summers that reach 31°C in July and August, mild winters with daytime highs around 17°C, and most of the year's rain falling in a few autumn and late-winter months. July is the driest month of all, with almost no rain recorded, while October is the wettest, with 11 rainy days. The resort sits just 6 minutes from Málaga airport, so the weather you land in is the weather on the beach at Playa del Bajondillo. Below, I take you through the year month by month, explain what to pack, and show when the shoulder months make sense for a cheaper, cooler break.

Averages 2015–2024. Highlighted months are the sweet spot for warm, dry weather.

What the climate is like

The Torremolinos weather pattern is easy to read once you see the numbers. Daytime highs climb steadily from 17°C in January and February to 31°C in July and August, then ease back to 21°C in November and 18°C in December. Nights follow the same curve, from 9°C in midwinter to 23°C in August, which means warm evenings on the seafront at La Carihuela through the height of summer.

Rain is concentrated rather than spread out. October brings 112 mm over 11 days and March 75 mm over 7 days, while July and August are almost completely dry. The best months, by the pattern here, are April through September plus November; January, February, March, October and December are the shoulder months, mild but less predictable.

The live Torremolinos weather forecast at the top of this page shows what to expect for the coming days. Long-range outlooks, such as a 14 day weather in Torremolinos view or a 21 day weather forecast for Torremolinos, are best treated as rough guides; the monthly averages below are a steadier basis for choosing when to book.

Month by month through the year

January and February are the coolest months, with highs of 17°C and lows of 9°C. Torremolinos weather in February is a little wetter than January, at 52 mm over 5 days, but both suit walking the promenade or visiting Sea Life Benalmádena rather than lying on the sand. Torremolinos weather in March warms to 20°C but is the second-wettest month, with 75 mm over 7 days.

Torremolinos weather in April is the turning point: 22°C highs and just 4 mm of rain over 2 days, one of the driest springs on the coast. May reaches 24°C, June 27°C, and July and August peak at 31°C with warm nights of 22 to 23°C. September stays at 27°C, though rain returns with 48 mm over 5 days.

Torremolinos weather in October is the outlier: still 24°C by day, but the wettest month, with 112 mm over 11 days, so plan indoor options such as the Jardín Botánico Molino de Inca or Selwo Marina alongside beach time. November settles again to 21°C with only 3 rainy days, which is why it counts among the best months, and December ends the year at 18°C.

What to pack by season

For June to September, pack light cotton and linen, a sun hat and high-factor sun cream; with temperatures in Torremolinos reaching 31°C and nights staying above 19°C, you will rarely need more than a thin layer after dark. A pair of sandals that cope with sand makes sense for Playa de la Carihuela and Playa del Bajondillo.

In April, May and November, add a light jumper or jacket for evenings, when lows sit between 13°C and 15°C, but expect to wear shorts by day. October deserves a compact waterproof, given its 11 rainy days, and March benefits from one too.

From December to February, think of a mild British spring: jeans, a warm layer for evenings around 9°C, and comfortable shoes for walking.

How far is Torremolinos from Málaga airport?
