Yellow warning for strong wind and waves at all beaches in Málaga

Attention swimmers: coastal phenomena will be the main focus this Thursday regarding weather in the province of Málaga. In fact, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has activated yellow warnings for strong wind and waves across the entire Malaga coastline: in Axarquía, Málaga city, and the Western Coast. The warning, active from 8:00 AM, will remain until the end of the day.

Thus, the weather forecast for the entire Malaga coast predicts west and southwest winds of 50 to 60 km/h (force 7) as well as waves two to three meters high. The warnings will also affect other points of the Andalusian Mediterranean coast; specifically Almería and Granada, where the same wind gusts and swell are expected.

For the province of Málaga, the weather is expected to be mostly clear or sunny. As for temperatures, they are on the decline. It is expected that the mercury will reach 33 degrees in Vélez-Málaga, 31 degrees in Málaga and Marbella, as well as 28 degrees in Antequera and a maximum of 26 in Ronda. Meanwhile, the minimum temperatures will range between 16 degrees in Antequera and 22 degrees in the capital.

On the other hand, as noted by José Luis Escudero in his blog 'Storms and Lightning', although today continues with "terral and westerly winds with strong gusts," he does not expect very high temperatures in the usual areas where the Malaga wind enters. "Tomorrow, Friday, they will rise a bit, but the wind gusts are not expected to be as strong, we will see if the yellow warning for high temperatures is activated," adds the Malaga weather broadcaster in his latest blog entry.

National Forecast

In the forecast for the peninsula, Aemet predicts "a situation of instability to persist in the north of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands under the influence of an Atlantic trough, with cloudy or overcast skies and precipitation, accompanied by storms and locally hail in the northeastern peninsula and archipelago, which are expected to be strong or even very strong locally in eastern Catalonia, Mallorca, Menorca, and the Pyrenean environment, not ruling out occasionally on the eastern Cantabrian coasts. In the rest of the northern third of the peninsula, the precipitation will be occasional," states the weather report consulted by SUR.

"In the afternoon, except in the Mediterranean, showers and storms will decrease, increasingly clearing up, while extending, locally with hail, to the east of Teruel and especially to the north of the Valencian Community where strong or very strong intensities are also expected. Stable weather in the rest of the country, with predominantly clear or sunny skies except in the north of the Canary Islands with cloudy skies and possible weak and scattered precipitation on the larger islands. Probable frontal mist in Galicia and morning fog banks in high areas of the far north. Calima in the Balearics."

Finally, the forecast highlights that temperatures will generally decrease, "notably the maximums in the north-central peninsula and in areas of the southern plateau and the northeast, and excepting also the maximums on the eastern and southeastern coasts where they will rise; exceeding 35 degrees in regions of the extreme southeast. No changes are expected in the Canary Islands. The minimums will not drop below 20 degrees, locally 25, in the Mediterranean area."
