Thunder
There was only 1 day in west Malaga when thunder was heard but there were 2 storms on that day, the 27th. The first one, during the morning, was associated with very heavy bursts of rain. The second one, during the afternoon will be long remembered. The worst of the weather missed the west Malaga weather station, but a waterspout developed east of Torremolimos and came ashore as a tornado and moved northwards. It destroyed a beach-side restaurant, uprooted trees and lifted the roof from the BP petrol service station close to the airport. Later in the afternoon, an intense hailstorm, east of Malaga, turned the ground white in Velez-Malaga.
Wind
November was an unusually gusty month with the balance between overnight land breezes and afternoon sea breezes largely absent. On 8 days there were gusts exceeding 20 knots (23 mph), with 25 knots (29 mph) from the east-southeast occurring ahead of a weather front on the 4th, and 29 knots (33 mph) from the northwest occurring behind the front on the 5th. An exceptional wind storm occurred on the evening of the 22nd. Skies were largely cloudy, but no rain fell, it was very dusty, presumably lifted sand or dust from North Africa, and it became very windy for a time with a full gale blowing. The sea was extremely rough and at 1900 hours there was a gust from east-southeast of 57 knots (65 mph). This was the highest gust in any month during 10 years of records. There were further gusts exceeding 45 knots (50 mph) during the evening and several trees in the area were either fatally damaged or uprooted. From late evening the wind eased down and the highest gust after midnight was 34 knots (39 mph).
