The latest storm, Kristin, left a trail of damage and disruption across Andalucía, but is beginning to subside. However, according to the forecast from Spain’s state meteorological agency (Aemet), “locally heavy” rainfall is still expected in the region, plus very strong gusts of wind in eastern Andalucía today. The region is under a weather warning for rain and gusts that can reach up to 100km/h.

Aemet’s weather forecast for today states that all Andalusian Provinces, except Huelva, will be under a weather warning. The orange alert for wind remains in effect for Almeria and Granada: specifically Guadix and Baza, Valle del Almanzora and Los Vélez, Nacimiento and Campo de Tabernas. Orange alerts for coastal phenomena are in effect along the Granada-Almeria coasts due to winds from west and southwest of 60 to 70 km/h (force 8) with waves between four and five metres.

A yellow alert for weather conditions in Cadiz is currently in place for Grazalema and the Strait of Gibraltar. This includes rain, wind, and coastal conditions. The Subbética area of Cordoba and Seville’s Sierra Sur is also on alert for wind with maximum gusts of 70 km/h, while in Jaen, the yellow warning affects Cazorla and Segura, the Guadalquivir Valley, as well as the city of Jaen and surrounding mountains. In Malaga, Ronda is still under weather warnings due to 40mm of rain accumulated over 12 hours. Sol, Guadalhorce or Axarquia will also be affected, as there are predicted coastal phenomena, including westerly wind speeds of 50-60 km/hr, and waves between two and three metres.

This is the case for now Thursday, 29th January Forecasts call for very cloudy skies or heavy rainfall. This will be more intense and persistent in the Betic Mountain ranges and lighter in the east. Aemet reports an intense, humid flow from the west “that will generate locally heavy rainfall” as well as “locally very strong gusts in eastern Andalucía”. Minimum temperatures will rise locally, but generally. Maximum temperatures on the Mediterranean Coast are also expected to increase. “Winds are expected to be westerly and moderate inland. They will also be moderate to strong along coastal areas and at higher levels, with some very strong gusts.

Look ahead Friday 30th January Granada, Jaen, and Almeria will all continue to have orange alert levels (significant risks) for gusts exceeding 90 km/h. Spain’s National Weather Agency also predicts partly cloudy skies with high clouds in the Mediterranean and predominant low clouds on Atlantic coastlines. The minimum temperatures will decrease, but the maximum temperatures are expected to remain constant or even increase. Finally, Aemet highlights westerly winds, light to moderate inland and moderate along the coast, with strong to very strong gusts in the eastern third of Andalucía.
