🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a warm Mediterranean embrace with daytime temperatures reaching 27°C–31°C . The sun is generous, but the humidity can be high, so breathable linen or cotton clothing is your best friend. Important: Early September can bring sudden "DANA" storms; always carry a compact umbrella and check the AEMET app. Evenings are balmy ( 19°C), perfect for terraces, though a light layer is useful near the sea.
