Cold weather arrives in Málaga and 'takes over' the Antequera region and the Serranía de Ronda

The region of Antequera and the Serranía de Ronda have been the most affected areas this Saturday by the arrival of an air mass of Arctic origin to the peninsula, which has caused a general drop in temperatures since last Thursday. Towns like Fuente de Piedra and Antequera recorded the lowest minimum temperatures: 2.4 degrees, at 03:50 and 04:10 respectively. Ronda was another town where the minimum did not exceed 3 degrees, specifically 2.6 degrees. For this Sunday, both regions, the Axarquía and the Guadalhorce Valley expect minimums below 10 degrees. Some points on the Costa del Sol, like Benalmádena, as well.

In the Serranía de Ronda, the thermometers in Alpandeire, Cortes de la Frontera, and Gaucín did not exceed 5 degrees minimum this Saturday. Alpandeire recorded 4.9 at 00:30, Cortes de la Frontera 3.7 at 07:50, and Gaucín 4.3 at 07:00. The maximum temperatures did not rise above 17 degrees.

In the Guadalhorce Valley, Coín recorded a minimum of 6.9 degrees, Álora 7.7, and in towns like Alhaurín de la Torre, Alhaurín el Grande, or Cártama, similar temperatures were tracked.

In the capital, the maximums did not exceed 19 degrees, data that was already anticipated by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), which recorded the lowest minimum at the airport station with 9.3 degrees at 09:00.

The highest minimum temperatures occurred on the coast, exceeding 10 degrees in most towns. Rincón de la Victoria with 14.3 degrees and the port of Marbella with 13.3 degrees were the towns that registered the highest minimums. Others like Torremolinos, Vélez-Málaga, and Nerja exceeded 12 degrees minimum.

The week will start with temperatures similar to those recorded over the weekend, with the most affected areas being the interior of the province, again the region of Antequera and the Serranía de Ronda, where yesterday, car thermometers marked -1 degree early in the morning.
