The plague that affects Malaga and Ceuta

 The plague of jellyfish that affects the coast of Malaga could reach Ceuta

The easterly wind could bring closer to the city the thousands of invertebrates that have settled on the beaches of Malaga since last weekend, preventing bathers from enjoying the arrival of good weather.

About 8,000 kilos of jellyfish have been removed last weekend from the surface waters of the coast of the Costa del Sol-Axarquía between the beaches of Vélez-Málaga and Nerja, which have been affected by a plague of these invertebrates.

A plague that arrives just at the gates of summer and that seems to have its explanation in the turbulent climate of recent times. The rains and strong gusts of wind that have hit the Andalusian coast have caused these schools of jellyfish to move from the high seas to the shore.

According to experts, this plague could reach Ceuta if the east wind continues to blow. The weather forecasts announce that the east will blow this Wednesday with light gusts shifting to the west in the afternoon. However, the east wind will return on Thursday afternoon to stay until Sunday. The gusts will not blow strongly and that could delay the arrival of these invertebrates, but the only solution would be for the west to be the protagonist in the coming days.
