Wet weekend in prospect on the Costa del Sol

THE start of the May Bank holiday weekend is expected to be wet in Malaga Province, with a high probability of rainfall on Friday and Saturday, according to national weather agency AEMET.

There is a 75-100 per cent probability of rain between 6pm on Thursday and Saturday evening, with temperatures set to plummet from Wednesday’s maximum of 24°C to 16°C, while the minimum will drop from 16°C to 12°C.

An incoming wave of subtropical low pressure is to blame for the abrupt change, which is likely to see the coast once again battered by waves, although not to the extent witnessed last weekend.

The sun is forecast to return by Monday’s public holiday, when the mercury will fluctuate between 11°C and 21°C.
