Weather Warning for Andalucia
Aemet has warned for “occasional storms and scattered showers” in the far west and mountainous areas of Andalucía. As the day unfolds, expect to see morning mists blanketing the coastal regions, creating a mystical start to your day. Additionally, keep an eye on the skies for a touch of the exotic, as Sahara dust makes yet another appearance in the atmosphere, adding a unique hue to the horizon.
Dana weather depression
The arrival of an isolated Dana weather depression off the coast of Portugal could unleash “numerous storms” across various parts of Spain on this final Monday of July. True to the meteorologists’ predictions, thunderstorms accompanied by occasional strong gusts of wind began early this morning in parts of Malaga province, setting the stage for a turbulent start to the day.
Rain in Malaga at the end of July is rare, especially in recent years. However, yesterday, Sunday, saw a drizzle, and it continued around 7 am today in various parts of the city centre and eastern Malaga.
The rain was light but carried large drops of mud, thanks to the persistent ‘calima’ Sahara sand dust haze still lingering in the province’s skies. The skies remain heavily clouded, and the wind brings a refreshing change, giving the city an unusual but welcome break from the typical summer heat.
It’s Hot! Hot! Hot!
According to the Hidrosur Network’s data from the Junta de Andalucía’s automatic rain gauges, the accumulated rainfall has been minimal, ranging between 0.2 and 0.7 mm. Areas like the Limonero reservoir in Malaga City, the Sierra de Mijas, Los Montes de Málaga, El Atabal, Torrox, and Torre del Mar have all seen these light showers. “It’s raining pure mud; it’s not much, but it’s something,” remarked José Luis Escudero, a local meteorology expert in Malaga.
