What's the weather like in Estepona?
Part of the splendid Costa del Sol region of southern Spain, the town of Estepona is home to about 60,000 people and some of Europe's most beautiful beaches and seascapes. With over 21km of enviable coastline, Costa del Sol has long been a favourite holiday destination for tens of thousands of tourists every year its name alone describes it best: "the coast of the Sun", always blessed with bold sunshine and excellent temperatures throughout an extended summer season. The good climate means the weather here is particularly lovely and the waters are wonderful to both Spanish and international travellers alike.
Sunshine Hours and Temperature
Estepona lies in a peculiar spot, right before the Sierra Bermeja Mountains and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Its position between two major relief forms makes it subject to a favourable microclimate which generates up to 325 days of sunshine per year. The weather here is much like the rest of Costa del Sol and the fresh air of the mountain peaks whisk across this charming white walled town, and meet the crisp sea breeze as it touches down on many of its superb beaches. This is a very healthy and enjoyable environment, split into four mild and moderate seasons, of which summer represents the majority. The average temperature ranges between 13°C and 23°C over the year, with August as the hottest month at an average high of 26°C, and January as the coldest month at an average low of 11°C. These are very reliable and mild conditions throughout the year.
Rain
June is usually the driest month, while November sees record rainfall of over 110mm. As expected, June to August is the best period to enjoy a sunny holiday in Estepona, with July experiencing up to 14 hours of sunshine per day, and August offering the warmest sea, at 23â°C on average. Humidity in this region is constant at 75% on average, making the nights comfortable even during the peak summer season, as well as during the wet autumn season.

Rich with fashionable boutiques, farmers markets and an impressive gastronomical culture, this little corner of Spanish paradise overlooks the azure Mediterranean Sea and offers what is considered to be one of the best continental climates in the world.
