Weather in Spain in July

July is a good month for Spain if you want warm seas and mostly dry weather, but choose your region carefully if you dislike heat. Country averages sit at 28°C by day, 21°C at night and 23°C in the sea. The coast suits a swimming holiday, while inland cities need a slower pace around midday.

Inland Spain: good for heat lovers, harder for long days outside

Seville is the hottest option at 35°C by day, so July is better suited to travellers happy to organise their day around the heat than those wanting to walk for hours. Madrid is also hot at 32°C, though its 19°C nights offer more relief than Seville's 21°C. Plan outdoor time for mornings, take a shaded or indoor break around midday, and leave room for relaxed evenings. Air conditioning is a sensible priority when choosing accommodation. Rain is unlikely to shape your plans: Seville averages 0 rainy days and Madrid 1. That makes wet-weather clothing less important than light fabrics, a hat and sun protection, without guaranteeing every day will stay dry.

Coastal choices: warmer swimming or milder daytime weather

For warm-water swimming, the Mediterranean choices stand out. Ibiza and Torrevieja pair 31°C days with a 25°C sea, while Benidorm, Valencia, Playa de Palma and Can Pastilla have 30°C days and the same sea temperature. These suit travellers who want plenty of time in the water and do not mind warm evenings. Costa de la Luz, including Cadiz, offers a different balance: daytime temperatures still reach 31°C, but the sea averages 23°C, making it a cooler dip rather than a way to avoid daytime heat. If that heat is the main concern, Puerto de la Cruz is the better fit at 21°C by day. Choose it for milder conditions rather than assuming all Spanish coastal destinations feel equally hot in July.
