Málaga weekend weather: light showers on Saturday, drier Sunday

Málaga province could see a few more showers on Saturday 14 November before conditions improve on Sunday, according to Euro Weekly News and Diario Sur. The rain follows several unsettled days linked to Storms Charles and Bruna.

Key facts

• Saturday: showers possible in Málaga, most likely in the afternoon.
• Temperatures: Euro Weekly News cites a high of around 23ºC in Málaga city; Diario Sur's forecaster says about 22ºC, with lows of about 15ºC.
• Sunday: the chance of rain falls sharply, both outlets say.
• Monday: Diario Sur says showers may return, though that is still some way off.

Saturday: light and scattered showers

Euro Weekly News, citing the latest predictions from AEMET, Spain's State Meteorological Agency, reported that conditions should gradually improve along much of the Mediterranean coast. It said Saturday could still bring unwelcome showers to western Andalucía, with rain forecast for the provinces of Málaga and Granada.

Diario Sur gave a more detailed picture for Málaga. Its weather commentator José Luis Escudero, who runs the Tormentas y Rayos (Storms and Lightning) section at SUR.es, said showers are still a risk on Saturday but will generally be light and scattered.

He said they are "more likely in the afternoon, and in the interior of the western and northern parts of the province". He added that they are not ruled out on the coast, and that "a few drops" could fall in Málaga city.

Sunday and the start of next week

Euro Weekly News said Sunday should bring cloudy skies in Málaga but a much lower chance of rain. Diario Sur quoted Escudero as saying the probability of rain will be "minimal" on Sunday.

He also said temperatures will stay "very much above average for this time of year", by day and by night, for another weekend. Looking to Monday, he said showers may return to the capital and the interior, though that is still far off. In his words, "you will have to take the umbrellas out again".

Elsewhere in Spain

Euro Weekly News said Granada could have a wetter weekend, with a high chance of rain on Saturday and highs of around 19C. Almería should be largely pleasant at about 23ºC on Saturday. Murcia could reach 26ºC on Saturday, and Alicante around 25ºC.

The 26ºC figure mentioned in Euro Weekly News's summary therefore applies to Murcia, rather than to Málaga, where the forecast high is lower.

What to check

Euro Weekly News said the strong winds and dangerous coastal conditions linked to the recent storms should ease. It advised residents and visitors to check for updated coastal warnings before going to exposed beaches or promenades. It also pointed readers to AEMET's latest weather warnings and seven-day municipal forecasts before making weekend plans.
