Southern Spain braces for stormy weather today, August 17, as yellow alerts are issued for intense storm cells and winds gusting up to 90 km/h. The remnants of a low-pressure system are creating unsettled conditions across parts of the region, with sudden downpours, hail, and strong gusts threatening to make an appearance. AEMET warns of the potential for locally intense storm cells, capable of dumping over 20 liters of rain per square meter, particularly in southern Andalusia and surrounding mountainous areas.
While coastal regions generally escape the worst of the weather, valleys in the southwest can still reach temperatures above 40°C. The heat is expected to gradually ease over the coming days, with significant drops forecasted as the low-pressure system moves northwards.
