AN ORANGE weather alert has been issued for Malaga with temperatures set to soar as high as 41C today and tomorrow.
The warning from Spanish forecaster AEMET said the ‘terral’ wind is behind much of the searing heat this week.
The terral is a blast of air from the north-west that heats up significantly as it travels to the south before arriving to the coast.
According to AEMET, the hottest times of day on Tuesday and Wednesday will be between 1pm and 9pm.

Yellow warnings for high temperature are also in place across Sevilla, Granada and Cordoba this week.
