In April...
Temperatures continue to rise during April
in Malaga with
an average daytime maximum temperature of
20°C and an average overnight minimum of 10°C. The rise in
temperature during the spring months tends to be moderated
by the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, for the trend in
sea temperature tends to lag that of land temperature and
the sea thus increasingly has a cooling effect. This can
bring issues with low visibility and, on occasion, sea fog.
Due to the fact that the sea breezes tend to peak during the
afternoon, sometimes the highest temperature of the day is
recorded during the morning or evening. Read
