Climate of Marbella

Marbella’s amazing micro-climate
Positioned between the beach and the Sierra Blanca mountain range behind it, Marbella enjoys an unusually pleasant micro-climate.
Winds may be buffeting the Strait of Gibraltarjust across the bay, flattening the waves in Fuengirola just up the coast, blowing spray onto the Paseo Maritimo of Estepona just down the coast but the day will be calm and
pleasant in Marbella. A mild temperature throughout the year, shorts and hats for summer and generally a light jersey will do fine for many days in winter.
Weather records show that the average temperature is 19º C and the sun shines for 320 days a year with only 45 days of rain.
Rains fall on some winter days from November through to March. Given the closeness of Marbella to the deserts of Africa just across the Mediterranean, residents value every day of rain however unseasonable it may be!
