Malaga's astonishing climate is one of the main
reasons for expatriates’ migration into the city. The city is endowed with a
Mediterranean climate and the summers appear to be lengthy, warm and dry, while
the winters are cool and calm.
There has never been any European city with a
population of over 500,000 that is warmer than Malaga even between June and
September that is taken to be the hottest period of the year; the temperatures is
likely to be around 30°C. It is an uncommon occurrence for the mercury to go
below freezing point in Malaga. The winters are warm when compared with that of
other cities in Europe because the Malaga Mountains serve as shields against
the weather from the north.
