Meteo Nerja in settembre

September is the month the Malaga forum recommends without argument: the July and August heat has abated into something posters call tolerable, while the sea stays warm enough to swim and unheated pools hold around 28C to the end of the month. The shape of the month matters - the first week is still very much summer, the last is noticeably cooler. Crowds thin after the start of September without emptying out; regulars describe it as busy but not superbusy. Rain is barely part of the conversation. The record: 28.7C days that feel like 31C, 21C nights, just 1.6 precipitation days, 11 hours of sun, a 25.6C sea and AQI 43.

Nerja's forum describes January as genuinely 'pot luck' - some stretches bring sunny days warm enough for a t-shirt, others turn grey and rainy, and wind is the deciding factor more than anything else. The one constant posters agreed on: once the sun starts going down in the mid-afternoon, the temperature drops fast, so a warm coat for evenings is non-negotiable even after a mild day. Nerja stays a year-round resort with most things open, though a handful of restaurants close until mid-February.

Forum posters call July genuinely great beach weather - some even rate it slightly more comfortable than August - with sun temperatures still in the 80sF and evenings pleasant enough to sit outside at 11pm around 25C. The real complaint isn't the heat but the crowds: July and August bring both British/Irish tourists and Spanish domestic holidaymakers, making the town center (Calle Almirante Ferrandiz, Puerta Del Mar) and Burriana beach specifically genuinely packed. Posters recommend getting to the beach early to grab a spot, avoiding heavy midday walking, and booking restaurants ahead if there's a specific place in mind.
