Rain returns to the Almanzora Valley. AEMET, Spain’s state weather agency, forecasts storms with light rain this afternoon in the Alto Almanzora (Upper Almanzora), more storms this Thursday afternoon and rain until Monday across the whole district, according to its municipal forecasts issued this Wednesday.
For now, no warning has been activated for the “Valle del Almanzora y Los Vélez” area over the next three days. The change comes after a summery end to September: temperatures of 32 degrees in Albox are still expected today. With the rain, temperatures will fall, especially in the Alto Almanzora: Serón will go from 31 degrees today to 24 on Saturday.
What is expected?
- Today, Wednesday: in the afternoon, cloudy intervals with storms and light rain in the Serón and Tíjola area. Between 12:00 and 18:00, the chance of rain is 90% in Serón, 70% in Macael and 40% in Albox.
- Thursday 1: an afternoon of storms with light rain in much of the district, with a probability of 85% in Albox, 95% in Macael and 100% in Serón.
- Friday 2: the wettest day, very cloudy and with rain across the whole district (a probability of between 90% and 100%) and highs of 25 to 29 degrees.
- Saturday 3 and Sunday 4: clouds and light rain, with probabilities of between 75% and 100% and highs of 24 to 30 degrees.
- Monday 5: the light rain continues, with a probability of 80% in Albox and 90% in Serón and Tíjola.
A weekend with plenty of events
The rain coincides with a weekend packed with plans: the San Francisco festivities in La Loma de Albox, SierroFoto in Sierro, Macael’s Marble Music Urban Festival, the day with the security forces in Zurgena and the climb up to Piedra Lobera in Lúcar. If you are going, check the organisers’ channels beforehand in case there are any changes.
Recommendations
The 112 Andalucía emergency line reminds the public of these guidelines for rain and storms:
- Avoid unnecessary journeys and, if you take the car, reduce your speed and increase your following distance.
- Never cross a flooded area, and do not walk, camp or park near watercourses.
- In a storm, keep away from isolated trees and rocks, which attract lightning.
AEMET will update its warnings depending on how the episode develops. You can check them on its website, under the “Valle del Almanzora y Los Vélez” area.
