Holy Week in Málaga begins with a forecast of rain

The first week of April in Málaga starts off sunny, a situation that is expected to continue until Wednesday, according to the forecasts from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), which today indicated stable and warm weather. However, this situation will not last long. In fact, it is expected that a storm, specifically an isolated cold low, will arrive on Thursday. Jesús Riesco, the director of Aemet in Málaga, has confirmed that it will affect the southwest of the peninsula, causing rainfall in the province of Málaga from that day, which is expected to last until Saturday, if the forecasts hold true.

The meteorologist explained that this does not mean it will be "raining all the time"; there will be clear spells throughout the days. However, the rain, of moderate character, will be the main feature. And on Palm Sunday, a new storm will enter Málaga, which could also bring rainfall. This forecast might continue into Holy Monday and Holy Tuesday.

As Riesco pointed out, "weather in spring is changeable and the models show uncertainty." He also emphasized that it is not yet clear how the rest of Holy Week will unfold in Málaga: "We will need to monitor it in the coming days."

Temperatures above normal

Although this Monday the forecast of rain seems distant, with a day of clear skies and maximum temperatures above normal. On the coast, thermometers will show highs between 24 and 25 degrees, and lows of 16. Inland, maximum temperatures will reach 20 degrees, and lows of 10.

Starting Thursday, the temperatures will drop, particularly the highs. For example, in Antequera, they will drop from 23 to 18 degrees. On the coast, the decrease will be less, down to 22 degrees.

At the end of the week, temperatures will rise again, above 20 degrees in inland areas of the province like Antequera, and above 22 on the coast.
