The wind pattern was fairly typical for early Summer, with light northwesterly land breezes being replaced by gentle afternoon southeasterly sea breezes. However, on some days a brisk southwesterly wind developed during the afternoons leading to choppy seas and some lifted sand on the beach. On the 3 very warm or hot days the land breeze persisted through the afternoons and evenings with no relief from the heat before midnight. On the evening of the 13th, the temperature stayed above 30 Celsius (86F) until after midnight. On most days winds were mostly light or gentle, but on 4 days there were gusts above 20 knots (23 mph). The highest gust was in the very dry and blustery wind on the 14th when 23 knots (26 mph) was recorded.

There was no fog observed in west Malaga during June.
