The month of April begins with rain during this week in the province of Málaga, but this brief interlude with precipitation, which can be significant in some localities this Wednesday, is part of a spring that will likely be much drier than usual [check the weather forecast in Málaga]. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has just evaluated the records for the month of March, which is among the 20 driest in the entire historical series since the early 1960s. In fact, the 33 liters per square meter that have been recorded on average in the province account for 43% of the historical average for the past month.
According to Jesús Riesco, the director of the Meteorological Agency in Málaga, the forecasts for the coming weeks will not, for the moment, according to the models analyzed, bring episodes of rain like those of these days. Likewise, temperatures above the usual will not be registered, in line with the month of March.
In fact, the recently ended month concluded with an average provincial temperature of 12.3 degrees, just 0.2 degrees below what is considered normal in Málaga, always in this third month of the calendar. "It has been a March with temperatures slightly below average. It has not been the same with the rain, where we have recorded less than half of the amounts that have been collected on average in more than 60 years," reports this territorial spokesperson.
Temperatures this week will indeed experience notable changes. There will be days when they rise, as will happen this Thursday, or days, like those of the weekend, with new rains, leading to a drop in temperatures. Thus, this week constitutes a break from the general stability that the province experienced in March, especially during the Easter days, and which is announced for later and until May arrives.
Regarding the forecasts for the entire autonomous community, the territorial delegate of Aemet in Andalusia, Juan de Dios del Pino, has reminded that the formation of a low-pressure system in the vicinity of Lisbon will bring "slightly more important" rains this Wednesday, and especially "intense, in addition to the province of Málaga, in areas of Córdoba and Jaén.
On the contrary, in Granada and Almería, it is "very unlikely" that these precipitations will occur. Also, the amounts for Thursday and Friday will be "of little significance," but on the eve of the weekend, there will be light precipitation "in almost all of Andalusia, intensifying on Saturday," while on Sunday "only rains will remain in the eastern part." Del Pino warns that the maximum temperatures, in full decline, will not exceed 20 degrees this Wednesday.
