Nighttime offers some relief, with temperatures dropping to around 20°C (68°F). The intense heat can be challenging for those unaccustomed to such high temperatures, so preparation is key.

Rain is a rare occurrence in Seville during July. The city averages only about 1-2 days of rainfall, if any, with total precipitation typically below 10mm. Tourists can expect dry and sunny weather for the majority of their stay.

Despite the high temperatures, Seville’s low humidity levels, averaging around 40-50%, make the heat more bearable. However, it’s still important to stay hydrated and take necessary precautions to protect against the sun.

Tips for visiting the city on summer

  • Stay hydrated: Carry a refillable water bottle and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Public fountains around the city offer fresh drinking water.

Lightweight, breathable clothing is essential for coping with Seville’s July heat. Opt for loose-fitting garments made from natural fibers like cotton or linen. Wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen with high SPF are must-haves to protect against the strong sun.

Choose light-colored clothing to reflect the sun’s rays rather than absorbing them. Whites, pastels, and light neutrals are ideal choices for keeping cool.

Comfortable walking shoes are also important, as exploring the city often involves a fair amount of walking.
