A red alert weather warning has been issued in Malaga. A large part of the province will be at an 'extreme risk' on Wednesday 13 November due to torrential rain and flooding, after Spain's state weather agency Aemet activated the maximum warning level that exists.

Specifically, Malaga city and the Guadalhorce valley, Costa del Sol and Axarquia areas have been placed under a red warning, where up to 120mm may accumulate in twelve hours. The most dangerous hours will begin at 10am and provisionally end at midnight on Wednesday.
