August edges past July on AEMET's normal, a 30.8°C daytime high, with rain still negligible at 6mm over half a day for the whole month. The sea reaches its own peak here, 23.9°C on Open-Meteo's reanalysis, the warmest of the twelve months measured. The Fiestas de Las Chapas usually opens the month's first days, and Starlite's open-air concert season, running since June, plays its closing shows before the end of the month. High summer prices apply across the beach clubs and sunbed rows; see the price indexes for what a day at the beach costs this month.
