Best time to visit Granada

May is the best month in Granada, scoring 92 out of 100, with January the weakest at 63. The 29-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 5 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

July is the warmest month at 32.4 °C and January the coolest at 12.9 °C — a 19.5 °C spread across the year. Around 72 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. January, February, March, April, October and November carry the rain — up to 8 wet days in a month — while June to August drop as low as 0. That 8-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Granada, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 9.6 hours in winter to 14.7 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are May, September, June. The one to think twice about is January. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
