The gusty wind complicates takeoffs at Malag Airport
The Malaga-Costa-Costa del Sol Airport experienced a "very complicated" situation this morning due to the wind, which has made it difficult and in many cases prevented the takeoff of planes.According to the air traffic controllers on platform
These gusts have affected taxiing at both destinations, with crosswind parameters in both at the operating limit for some airlines, which have not been able to take off at the scheduled time.
This situation has caused a lot of frequency saturation and there have even been aircraft that, after the long wait, have had to return to refuel.
At this time there are traffic regulations for safety due to adverse weather in the surrounding area.
And it is expected that the day will be marked by instability. As far as the wind is concerned, during the early morning and morning hours Ronda, Sol and Guadalhorce and Axarquía have been on orange alert due to strong westerly winds. Specifically, with a forecast of gusts of up to 80 kilometers per hour in Sol and Guadalhorce, and Ronda. Both warnings have been disabled directly. Only a yellow one remains active in Axarquía where, on the contrary, the intensity is reduced to 70 kilometers per hour.
In this way, this atypical Easter Sunday (the procession of the Risen Lord in Malaga has been canceled due to weather forecasts) is expected to be marked by instability. Same as the previous days.
And, let us remember, also this Saturday, in which the storm Nelson left 64.9 liters in the Sierra de Mijas; 50.7 in the Benamargosa River; or 48.4 in Coin. A disastrous ending to Holy Week for the brothers, but extraordinary for the reservoirs, which as of this Saturday had already received a more than considerable water contribution: the equivalent of three months of consumption in the capital.
