Where is the hottest place in Europe right now?

Typically, the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria) and Southern Spain (Malaga, Marbella) offer the highest temperatures in Europe during the cooler months.

Can I find beach weather in Europe in winter?

Yes, destinations like Cyprus and the southern Greek islands often maintain mild, sunny weather ideal for coastal walks and outdoor dining year-round.

Which European country is the hottest?

Spain and Greece generally trade titles for the hottest country depending on the month. However, for consistent year-round warmth, Spain (specifically the Canary Islands) is the most reliable. For peak summer heat, Greece and Turkey often see the highest inland temperatures.

Where can I find 20°C weather in Europe in winter?

Your best chances for 20°C (68°F) weather in the winter months are the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura). On exceptionally sunny days, parts of Sicily and Cyprus can also reach these highs.

Is the sea warm enough to swim in during the winter?

In most of mainland Europe, the sea temperature drops significantly by November. However, the waters around Cyprus and the Canary Islands remain relatively mild (around 18-20°C), which many find comfortable for a quick dip.

Do I need to book in advance for these warm destinations?

Since these are the most popular spots for “winter sun,” hotels can fill up quickly during the holiday season and school breaks. We recommend using our weather widgets above to find the best current weather and book your flight and hotel together to lock in the “Same Price as Booking Direct” rates.
