===Climate=== Granada has a [[hot-summer Mediterranean climate]] (''Csa'') close to a cold [[semi-arid climate]] (''BSk''). Summers are hot and dry with daily temperatures averaging {{cvt|34|°C}} in the hottest month (July); however, temperatures reaching over {{cvt|40|°C}} are not uncommon in the summer months. Winters are cool and damp, with most of the rainfall concentrated from November through to January. The coldest month is January with daytime temperatures hovering at {{cvt|13|°C|0}} and dropping to around {{cvt|1|°C}} during the night. Frost is common as temperatures usually reach below-freezing in the early morning. Snow is rare and occurs once every few years. Spring and autumn are unpredictable, with temperatures ranging from mild to warm. Early summer in 2017 confronted the city with two massive heat waves that broke long-standing record temperatures starting on 13 June 2017, with a new maximum high for the month at 40.6 °C (old record 40.0), which was topped three times within the span of four days at 40.9 °C on 14 June, 41.3 (15 June) and, eventually, 41.5 (17 June). The second extreme surge in temperatures followed roughly a month later when readings soared to 45.7 and 45.3 °C on 12 and 13 July, respectively, surpassing the old July record by almost 3 degrees. {{Weather box | location = Granada <small>(Granada Base Aérea, altitude {{cvt|687|m|disp=semicolon}})</small> | metric first = yes | single line = yes | Jan record high C = 26.8 | Feb record high C = 27.6 | Mar record high C = 29.1 | Apr record high C = 35.2 | May record high C = 38.6 | Jun record high C = 40.3 | Jul record high C = 43.5 | Aug record high C = 43.8 | Sep record high C = 40.6 | Oct record high C = 35.2 | Nov record high C = 27.8 | Dec record high C = 24.8 | year record high C = 43.8 | Jan high C = 12.6 | Feb high C = 14.6 | Mar high C = 18.0 | Apr high C = 19.5 | May high C = 24.0 | Jun high C = 30.2 | Jul high C = 34.2 | Aug high C = 33.5 | Sep high C = 28.7 | Oct high C = 22.6 | Nov high C = 16.5 | Dec high C = 13.1 | year high C = 22.3 | Jan mean C = 6.9 | Feb mean C = 8.5 | Mar mean C = 11.4 | Apr mean C = 13.1 | May mean C = 17.1 | Jun mean C = 22.5 | Jul mean C = 26.0 | Aug mean C = 25.5 | Sep mean C = 21.6 | Oct mean C = 16.3 | Nov mean C = 10.9 | Dec mean C = 7.9 | year mean C = 15.7 | Jan low C = 1.2 | Feb low C = 2.4 | Mar low C = 4.8 | Apr low C = 6.8 | May low C = 10.2 | Jun low C = 14.7 | Jul low C = 17.7 | Aug low C = 17.6 | Sep low C = 14.4 | Oct low C = 10.1 | Nov low C = 5.3 | Dec low C = 2.7 | year low C = 9.0 | Jan record low C = -12.6 | Feb record low C = -13.4 | Mar record low C = -6.4 | Apr record low C = -1.9 | May record low C = 0.6 | Jun record low C = 5.6 | Jul record low C = 9.0 | Aug record low C = 8.2 | Sep record low C = 1.2 | Oct record low C = -0.5 | Nov record low C = -4.5 | Dec record low C = -8.6 | year record low C = -13.4 | Jan precipitation mm = 41 | Feb precipitation mm = 33 | Mar precipitation mm = 35 | Apr precipitation mm = 37 | May precipitation mm = 30 | Jun precipitation mm = 11 | Jul precipitation mm = 2 | Aug precipitation mm = 3 | Sep precipitation mm = 23 | Oct precipitation mm = 38 | Nov precipitation mm = 50 | Dec precipitation mm = 50 | year precipitation mm = | Jan precipitation days = 5.8 | Feb precipitation days = 5.6 | Mar precipitation days = 5.1 | Apr precipitation days = 6.3 | May precipitation days = 4.7 | Jun precipitation days = 1.7 | Jul precipitation days = 0.3 | Aug precipitation days = 0.6 | Sep precipitation days = 2.7 | Oct precipitation days = 5.1 | Nov precipitation days = 6.7 | Dec precipitation days = 7.2 | year precipitation days = | Jan snow days = 0.7 | Feb snow days = 0.5 | Mar snow days = 0.2 | Apr snow days = 0.1 | May snow days = 0 | Jun snow days = 0 | Jul snow days = 0 | Aug snow days = 0 | Sep snow days = 0 | Oct snow days = 0 | Nov snow days = 0.1 | Dec snow days = 0.3 | year snow days = 2 | Jan sun = 170 | Feb sun = 172 | Mar sun = 219 | Apr sun = 234 | May sun = 280 | Jun sun = 331 | Jul sun = 362 | Aug sun = 330 | Sep sun = 254 | Oct sun = 211 | Nov sun = 164 | Dec sun = 148 | year sun = 2881 | Jan humidity = 72 | Feb humidity = 68 | Mar humidity = 60 | Apr humidity = 57 | May humidity = 51 | Jun humidity = 43 | Jul humidity = 37 | Aug humidity = 41 | Sep humidity = 51 | Oct humidity = 62 | Nov humidity = 71 | Dec humidity = 75 | year humidity = 57 | source 1 = [[Agencia Estatal de Meteorología]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aemet.es/es/serviciosclimaticos/datosclimatologicos/valoresclimatologicos?l=5514&k=and |title=Valores climatológicos normales.
