New Front Triggers Yellow Rain Alert in Ronda as Málaga Braces for More Flooding

Aemet warns that already soaked soils will heighten flood risk through Friday.

Overview

  • Ronda is under a yellow warning on Monday with about 60 mm of rain expected in 12 hours, according to Aemet.
  • Forecasters say conditions in Málaga province are unlikely to improve before Friday, with further rainfall expected.
  • Regional emergencies chief Antonio Sanz says saturated ground is the main hazard and describes storm damage as brutal, especially on roads.
  • Several provincial roads remain cut after last week’s storms, while others reopened on Sunday after repairs, including the A-7054, A-7283 and A-374.
  • Bad weather is stalling repairs to the MadridMálaga AVE line, with service unlikely before March, as 555 evacuees from Grazalema and Estación de Benaoján remain in Ronda and the government pledges to prioritise household aid.
