Emergency services in Malaga have received reports of dozens of incidents, such as falling branches, street furniture, signs and shutters, as winds reached 70 km/h this Friday 4 March. Trains were brought to a halt between Malaga and Torremolinos due to fallen signage. One single track has been reopened in the affected section and railway infrastructure company Adif expects repairs to be completed overnight and the service to be fully restored on Saturday. Meanwhile, one person has been reported injured in Malaga city centre after being hit by a detached window blind.

Malaga has been issued a yellow weather warning by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), due to strong winds and high waves. The warning will remain in place until 6pm in Axarquía, Guadalhorce and the Costa del Sol, which includes Malaga city.

The forecast in Malaga province this Friday is cloudy skies and a slight dip in temperatures, with a minimum of 11C and a maximum of 18C.

The adverse weather conditions, right before the start of spring, are some of the worst seen this winter. 15 of Spain's 17 autonomous regions (excluding the Balearic and Canary Islands) will be affected today, according to Aemet.
