🔥 What is Terral? The hot wind of Málaga

by nerjaloversNews, TipsPosted on No Comments
⛈🌡 Check here the current temperatures and weather

The Terral is what the land wind is called in the Malaga area. There are several types of Terral. “The warm summer terral, the very dry and warm terral.

People in Malaga don’t want to hear this word. The terral synonymous with heat.

How to fight the terral?

The terral is like a wave of extreme chlor. Avoid going outside at times of maximum sun exposure. Drink plenty of water and hydrate well and have air conditioning or a fan in the house.

The terral causes the temperatures in the province of Malaga to rise. The thermometers rise and the heat rises.

Aemet explains how to identify the terral.

what is Terral?

It is a land breeze that blows at night from the land towards the sea. This happens as the land surface cools faster than the sea surface. The air comes from the north and when it reaches Malaga it meets the mountains and mountain ranges (Montes de Malaga and Sierra de Tejeda and Alhama), producing the Foehn effect. This causes the wind coming from the north to rise to pass the mountains and quickly descend towards the sea when it reaches the coast.

How is the Terral formed?

As it descends to the sea, this air gains a lot of pressure, an energy that is difficult to release. And it begins to compensate thermodynamically with the loss of humidity and increase in internal temperature. This is called ‘adiabatic compression’.

It is at this time when the temperature of all the towns of Malaga begins to rise. It can rise more than 10 degrees in 2 or 3 hours.


The terral of Malaga is not air that comes from Africa, it is an air that comes from the north of Spain that goes up the mountains very quickly and goes down to the sea. The terra de Malaga is also different from the extreme heat waves that can occur in the province.

🤿 What is the mysterious orange substance on the beach? 🦧

by nerjaloversNewsPosted on No Comments

The first thing we thought: This is dirty water, this is sewage, people do not take care of the environment… But no, this is not dirt. This is a natural phenomenon caused by the change in water temperature.

😥 Here you can see some photos of these unpleasant stains on the beaches of Nerja
🔴 See video of the beaches of Nerja 🦧

A microorganism harmless to man stains the beaches of Malaga orange (not only Nerja, but the entire Mediterranean coast).

This phenomenon happens every year on many beaches in Spain. Large orange and ocher spots cover the beaches. These large spots are made up of millions of marine microorganisms. This plankton is called “Noctiluca scintillans”.

It appears at some times of the year creating great confusion among bathers. This is a microorganism (it is not dirty water, it is not fecal water, it is not black water). When there is a swell, it usually approaches the beaches. The tide and waves usually move these masses to the beaches.

When large masses of these very small microorganisms are created, it is called a “Red Tide” or “Sea Purge”. It is a natural and harmless phenomenon for people. (That does not do physical or moral damage).

The orange tide or Noctiluca scintillans has the peculiarity that it is orange or ocher during the day, and shines at night.

In any case, these are not episodes of pollution on the beaches of Nerja, nor on the coast of Spain. But the water is stained orange by the presence of these microorganisms.

The beaches of Nerja are clean beaches. The beaches of Malaga have boats that clean the surface of the sea every day and try to keep the beaches clean. In addition, Nerja has blue flags on its beaches, certifying the quality of its waters.

Water temperature

The red tide usually originates on the beaches of Malaga in the months of July and August. Bathers and tourists believe that it is dirty water, but it is not. On some occasions the appearance of these microorganisms has been delayed until September.

From government agencies it is confirmed that these microorganisms do not have negative effects for children and people who bathe on the beaches. And they also confirm that the beaches of Malaga are very clean and suitable for bathing.
