OK, bear in mind that I'm down on the south Atlantic coast, so it's a bit warmer there. I had a delightful three days sunbathing in Feb there (try that in the old speedos in the UK even when it is sunny.) In Spain you might get a few summer days that are cloudy. In the UK you might get a few summer days that are sunny. By and large it has been my (careful) observation that we get more sunny days outside of June - Aug than we ever do in it.

Just spoken to daughter in Sevilla and it is warm (24C allegedly) and sunny there ... she is planning a trip to the beach at the weekend ....
But not bad here today (Pego) either, after a drizzly start! Tomorrow is forecast to be better and temperatures of 17C and this evening's forecast has been revised to be about 7C ...
Definitely warmer here than it will be when I get back to UK tomorrow ...

I live in Chiclana about 1-2 hours drive from Seville (really depending on the route you take) I'm about 6km from La Barrosa beach and I have been there everyday this week. It has been great people sun bathing and swimming:eek: still down there at 7pm last night and the night before enjoying the world going by. It did turn a little chilly just before we made tracks for home.

Decision made to leave it for another month, so that the night temps are a bit higher.
Very interesting as to the difference in temperatures at this time of year.
Unfortunately later in the year I find further south just too hot for me.
Thanks to you all.

Wise decision :thumbup: The days can be warm and sunny but it makes it so much better to have warm balmy evenings :cool:

Well, partly you have to get used to it, but the heat where we are is very dry, and their is a lot of breeze, which helps.

It gets a tad warm when the temp goes over 40C, but then it's a case of intelligent use of time and taking it easy in the midday heat.

Chris, I'm hoping that when I get there it will be March, and things will be improving.

Hi bil

That´s a bit of an understatement today. We´ve got Levante and it´s blowing at almost 50kph. :ohmy:
