AEMET, the State Meteorological Agency, issued a yellow weather warning in the province of Malaga on Sunday, January 15. It warns of coastal phenomena expected to occur in the eastern coastal area of the Axarquia.
The forecast indicated that strong winds of up to 70km/h will blow, causing possible waves of up to three or four metres in height along the coast.
This latest alert is active from 8am this Monday 16, through until midnight on Wednesday 18. The warning is issued with a risk probability of between 40 and 70 per cent said the experts. Strong westerly winds will be responsible for the coastal activity.
