Malaga Weather Blog

At this time of year minor flooding is the norm every time it rains. Unlike in northern europe, where 30 mm of rain often takes all day to fall, on the Costa del Sol this amount of rain can descend in just a few minutes. For this area, November is, on average, the wettest month of the year (95mm at Malaga Airport over a 30-year period). However, it can hardly be described as the ’rainy season’ , an expression familiar to those that travel to tropical countries. Although it was particularly unpleasant at times during the weekend, most of the rain fell during the afternoon thunderstorms, particularly on Sunday. The heavy autumn rains are regarded as good street cleaners  after the dry and dusty summers, they replenish the reservoirs after the depletion caused by the summer tourists, but above all, there is almost a guarantee that the rains are quickly followed by a day like today. A mixture of clouds and warm sunshine, excellent visibility, lowish humidity and a stiff breeze. You can’t beat it!
