The extreme weather follows a series of Atlantic storm systems sweeping across Spain, with further rain and potential flooding forecast throughout the week.
Aemet says that ‘the heaviest rainfall is expected in the Ronda region and the westernmost part of the Sol and Guadalhorce regions.’
Starting at 6pm this evening, 80mm of rainfall is expected within 12 hours in these two areas.
Residents and visitors are urged to remain cautious, follow official weather updates, and take necessary precautions as Storm Laurence continues to impact the region.
