First spring thunderstorm in western Spain. Night performance in Malaga.

A new Atlantic storm is approaching Spain that will leave heavy rainfall in the southwest of the mainland this Sunday, March 20, occasionally accompanied by storms. In Malaga province, specifically, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has activated the yellow weather warning for heavy rain and accumulations of up to 40mm in twelve hours on the western Costa del Sol, Malaga, Valle del Guadalhorce and the Ronda areas. “There is even a probability that we will see lightning,” José Luis Escudero points out on his SUR blog Tormentas y Rayos. The warnings will be active from this Sunday afternoon until 10am on Monday. On the Axarquia coast, Aemet has also activated a yellow warning for high waves – up to four-metres high - and an easterly wind force 7 until midnight this Sunday.
