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

land temperature and the sea thus increasingly has a cooling effect.

sometimes the highest temperature of the day is recorded during the
morning or evening. Read more
