What to wear: A light coat or warm sweater is enough, plus a rain jacket and shoes with grip on wet stone.
A rainy day moves the visit indoors: the Picasso museum, the Pompidou, the Thyssen museum, the Cathedral and the municipal museum are all covered. The Alcazaba and Gibralfaro stay open, but the stone paths get slippery. Rain usually passes in a few hours, so a short wait often works.
Summer midday is hot, and the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro have little shade, so go at opening or late in the day. Use the museums and the Cathedral as shade in the middle of the day. Carry water and wear a hat from June to September.
