Mountain Andalucia · Sierra Nevada Cetursa
The Sierra Nevada - Veleta webcam (Andalucia) offers a direct view of weather conditions. The camera is operated by Sierra Nevada Cetursa and shows the current state of the location in real time: sky, wind, sea, snow cover or traffic depending on the setting.
The live weather panel pulls data from Open-Meteo for the camera coordinates: temperature, relative humidity and wind. For a 7-day forecast, check the nearest city weather page. The image is served from the operator's server so update frequency depends on their pipeline (typically 1 to 10 minutes for public feeds).
When you plan a trip - to the beach, the snow, a port or a road journey - a webcam complements radar information and AEMET warnings with immediate visual verification. Visit the official source to confirm availability. Browse other cameras in the full selection.
El Veleta, at 3,396 metres, is the third highest summit on the peninsula and the highest point in Europe reachable by road. The view from up there shows a different world from Granada, less than 40 kilometres away: there is snow here for a good part of the year, and conditions change with an abruptness that catches out anyone who drives up without checking the forecast.
The sky is clearest in July, with mean cloud cover of 14 %, and most overcast in April, at 60 %. The sunniest month is July, with 13.7 hours of effective sunshine a day. Over the year there are about 121 days of appreciable rain and 47 with snow.
