Weather in Granada in July

A good month. July is a solid month to be in Granada. Highs average 32.4 °C, lows 20.3 °C, and rain falls on 0 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

July ranks 6 of 12 in Granada: past the worst of the year but short of May, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain is not a factor worth planning around this month. Pack for 32.4 °C days and 20.3 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 27 days top 30 °C, making the heat continuous rather than occasional. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 39.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 12 °C.

July is dependably dry, and that reliability is the point: across the twenty years measured, the wettest July on record still only managed 7 mm, and the driest managed 0 mm. There is no meaningful variability to plan around, which makes this one of the few months anywhere that you can build a fixed outdoor itinerary against without a fallback. The wettest single day in twenty years of Julys brought 4 mm. Rain simply is not the variable that decides this trip — heat, crowds and cost are.

Wind is light at 7.8 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and the air is dry at 39% humidity, which makes the heat far more bearable than the same figure somewhere humid — and dehydrates you faster than you expect.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 28.8 °C in June, 32.4 here, 32.1 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Granada's year: 14.5 hours of daylight, losing 0.6 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 27.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Granada versus nearby

If Granada is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Málaga is a better bet in July — 5.1 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. Sevilla is the weaker option in July — 6.2 °C warmer, the same number of rain days.

So: July works, with May the better month by 16 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
