Estepona (38.9º) and Vélez-Málaga (38.3º) set the highest temperatures in the province this Saturday.

Another day with the intense heat in Málaga. And one day less until it ends. Another day of doors and windows tightly shut, of fans, ice cream, cool water, seeking shade or simply not going out at all; barricading oneself at home with the air conditioning is the best plan, especially since the wind has also made it difficult to enjoy the beaches, with the yellow flag raised on almost all of them. The fire felt in the streets this Saturday is also reflected in the temperatures recorded by the State Meteorological Agency, so much so that the province of Málaga has four of the five highest temperatures in Andalusia.

Estepona, Coín, Málaga city, and Vélez-Málaga have been the hottest places, the first three were under the yellow warning activated by the Aemet on the Costa del Sol and the Guadalhorce, but not the municipality of Vélez-Málaga. The highest temperature was in Estepona, with 38.9 degrees at 17:50; followed by 38.3 degrees reached in Vélez-Málaga at 15:10, and 38.2 in Coín at 18:20. In fourth place comes Albox (Almería) with 38.1 degrees, and just below that threshold was Málaga city, with 37.9 at the airport at 18:10. Very close was Torremolinos, with 37.8 degrees.

In the other two stations that Aemet has in the city, very high values were also recorded again, up to 36.4 degrees at the port and 37.6 at El Cónsul. In the case of Álora, which yesterday had 40.6 degrees, the thermometer dropped this Saturday, staying at 36.1. In Rincón de la Victoria they reached 35.5 degrees, the same as in Benahavís. In Nerja, it was 33.4.

This, despite the fact that the terral wind has decreased in intensity compared to the previous day, when it particularly affected the Guadalhorce Valley and Málaga city. In the municipality of Coín, they suffered almost 42 degrees and the Málaga airport marked 41.

Heat warning continues in Málaga this Sunday and Monday

This Sunday the western Costa del Sol, the Guadalhorce Valley, and Málaga city are again under heat warning for maximums of 36 degrees, which in the case of the city could reach 38, according to the alert issued by Aemet. It has also been activated in Axarquía, for 38 degrees. In all cases, it will be a yellow level and the hours of greatest risk are from 13:00 to 21:00 in the afternoon.

Maximums of 38 degrees are expected in Málaga city and in Vélez-Málaga; 34 in Marbella and in Antequera, and 31 in Ronda. In general, Meteorology predicts for this Sunday, July 20, clear skies, temperatures unchanged, and winds that will continue to be westerly, weak inland and moderate on the coast.
