We are already in mid-August 2026, while many of you are returning to the routine of work or planning to, others are packing their bags to begin their holiday in Malaga in September.<\/p>\n

Many tourists prefer September over August to spend their holidays. Towards the end of August there is already a noticeable drop in the number of towels on the beach, a clear indicator that the high season is coming to an end.<\/p>\n

Those who have experienced the transition from August to September can see how summer seems to dissolve between taxis and suitcases heading to the airport. Don\u2019t be mistaken \u2014 it is just an illusion and there is still good weather and pleasant temperatures for everyone. The distance between towels on the beach expands once we pass 31 August. There may be a mathematical formula to calculate that personal space on the sand, but it has not yet been discovered. The temperatures do not seem to leave Malaga with the tourists who depart the Costa del Sol, which is excellent news for those who arrive.<\/p>\n

Without any doubt there is still good weather and pleasant temperatures for enjoying the beach and pool in September.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is it hot and is there good weather in September?<\/h2>\n

Without any doubt there is still good weather and pleasant temperatures for enjoying the beach and pool in September. Average daytime highs are around 28 \u00b0C and overnight lows around 19 \u00b0C. The only thing that \u2018seems\u2019 to disappear during this month are the strongest Terral days. I say \u2018seems\u2019, because it is less likely that the thermometer will exceed 35 \u00b0C, although it is not impossible \u2014 it can still happen on the odd day.<\/p>\n

\"Strolling<\/p>\n

The weather is perfect for continuing to enjoy the beach and sunbathing. The sea is at a pleasant temperature (around 23\u201324 \u00b0C), although we lose those occasional days of really warm water that sometimes occur in August. If it\u2019s hot and you want to cool down, the slightly cooler water is actually quite welcome, so it is not a problem at all.<\/p>\n

Does it rain in Malaga in September?<\/h3>\n

September is not a rainy month. Like any other month it can rain, but it is not usual. When it does happen it is normally a light shower that clears the same day. Towards the end of the month, as autumn approaches, the chance of rain increases slightly, but it is still far from a rainy season. Average rainfall is only around 20\u201325 mm with roughly two rainy days.<\/p>\n

What clothes should you bring if you visit Malaga in September?<\/h3>\n

If you come early in the month you can still wear the same clothes you would in summer. Shorts and short-sleeved tops are a good option. I would also recommend bringing a couple of long-sleeved items in case an evening turns cooler \u2014 something that can happen equally in August if you are right by the sea.<\/p>\n

If you come in late September it is a good idea to pack long trousers and a light jacket just in case. Do not forget your swimsuit and summer clothes though \u2014 you will still need them.<\/p>\n

Are there fairs or festivals in September in Malaga?<\/h2>\n

Of course there are activities, festivals and fairs in September. In Malaga I do not think there is a single month without at least one relevant event or festival. Although the Malaga Fair is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the city in August, September also has some excellent events.<\/p>\n

Among the most interesting in 2026 are:<\/p>\n
