Jacket in Spain this time of year?
 
We are going to Spain Next Monday, Sept.11. We land in Malaga and will spend a few days in Costa del Sol and then move on to Sevilla and Granada. Can anyone tell me if there is any chance I would need a jacket this time of year? I'm thinking no, but its gotten cool here, in Kansas City, and that usually doesn't happen this early, so I would like to know if the same's happening there. I would love it.

spain is a very mountainous country, therfore it can cool down in the evening to where a light jacket would feel welcome, even in spetember.

also, if you go out on a boat, the wind can be chilling.

right now i would say take one although you probably wont need it.

You don't need one. The temperature at this moment is in Celsius:

Sevilla 24 to 40(inland)
Granada 15 to 37 (in the mountains)
Malaga 19 to 29 (on the coast)

We were in Andalusia at that time last year and we needed a sweater/jacket in the evening.

The daytime was warm in Seville, even downright hot, but the evening cooled down. In Granada, we visited the Alhambra from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. and I wore my sweater until 11:00 a.m. It warmed up in the afternoon, but cooled down again at night.

I am in Barcelona right now and it is really hot and humid, but in Alicante last week I needed a light jacket on two occasions. I would definitely take one, not just for the possibly chilly nights, but for the plane there and back.

Oh, and according to my teacher, temps will drop tomorrow.
