Aemet has activated a yellow warning for this Monday, with the risk of downpours of up to 15mm in one hour. The areas affected are the coastal strip of the province which includes Malaga city and the Costa del Sol, the Guadalhorce valley and Axarquia.

In reality the forecast has already been fulfilled, although for the moment only in the area between Estepona and Marbella, where more than 27 l/m2 have been collected this morning in one hour, between 7am to 8am. This figure is already close to the amber threshold.
