Temperature in Sevilla, Cordoba, and Granada in 3rd week of June?
 

I'm very interested in taking a trip down to Alhambra, Cordoba, and Sevilla around 3rd week of June. I'm just concerned about the temperature in that region, during that time frame. Is is unbearable?/ Wanted to visit Lisbon as well. Thanks

You can check weather history on a number of websites, e.g., wunderground. Com. Weather.com , etc.

Most people will respond here that it is very warm to hot, hot, hot at the end of June.

Btw, no one can predict the weatheri to come.... Not even our overpaid weather people on the news channels.

I've been looking at those areas as well recently, so had these links at hand:

in the 90s ( more or less)

My experience has been that it will be very warm, so you typically do what the locals do, stay in the shade during the heat of the day and go out in the early morning and later evening. Long lunches and late dinners are quite normal.

But we've also been in Paris at the same time of the year with temperatures approaching the boiling point. Just expect that it will be very warm during the summer months.

Weather is totally unpredictable. So please do not base your vacation on that alone.

Well, it's not totally unpredictable. It is predictably hot in Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada in June.

I also see no reason why somebody shouldn't base a vacation on weather conditions alone. When did that become a rule everybody has to follow? If it is too hot or cold for somebody to enjoy their trip to some destination, they should feel free to skip it. Who are they supposed to be suffering for?

As Sandra says, predictably hot. Statistics says 95F in Sevilla and Cordoba and a few degrees lower in Granada.

Thanks everyone for your quick responses. we have had a few experiences in Europe, where the intense heat did not allow us to enjoy the outings as much, ie, Pompeii, Napoli, Rome..... For that reason, I didn't want to spend the money to drag the family, and not be able to do all the exciting things in that region.With two kids, their school schedule does not allow another time to visit that region.

Southern Spain is hotter than Italy. High temps of 100 are common and up to 120 are possible. You may be lucky and get only 90 - but that's not likely. (A colleague spent a college yar abroad there - going home early June and said even that was unbearable - compared to NYC - not exactly a cold spot in summer).

It's true you can get very hot weather anywhere but it's the norm in southern Spain not the exception. We have been twice in April and it was already clearly beach weather (mid 80s) and a hotel with a good pool was necessary.

thanks nytraveler , we are not going to be doing the Southern Spain trip this summer. Your response affirmed my decision.
