ANDALUCÍA
Tropical Nights Return- Aemet warns that Malaga province will experience prolonged hot winds and that temps may reach 40C in Malaga city for the first time this summer: {Translation, summary}
– The capital and its environs prepare to endure what is likely to be the greatest episode of heat thus far this summer, which has already been scorching and bent on breaking records on land and also at sea. Accordingly, the arrival of the terral wind is expected from Friday onwards. Depending on the hour at which it arrives, the thermometers shall rise to a greater or lesser extent.
– Juan de Dios del Pino, delegate of Aemet, the State Meteorological Agency, for Andalucía, adds that the terral may linger even until Monday. For now, the forecast is expected to be below 40 degrees Celsius. In any case, this thermal surge shall also elevate nocturnal temperatures between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, rendering the nights even more tropical than usual.
– Regarding alerts, there is presently no necessity to activate them. An orange warning would be issued for the Costa del Sol and Guadalhorce should 39 degrees be forecast, which is more than probable. Inland, the threshold stands at 40.
– “The worst may come on Friday with the arrival of a trough and the wind shifting to a westerly component. That is to say, we shall likely have terral in the customary zones of Málaga province. On this occasion, depending on the hour at which it sets in, we might reach the first 40 degrees Celsius of the summer in Málaga,” warns José Luis Escudero in his SUR blog ‘Storms and Lightning’.

MALAGA CITY
The quality of the waters of the beaches of Malaga is “excellent”, according to a study of the UMA: {Translation, summary}
– The waters of Málaga’s beaches boast “excellent” sanitary quality, as shown by a study from the University of Málaga’s Coastal Sciences Chair, commissioned by the City Council’s Beaches Department. Sampling was conducted along the entire Málaga coastline, including Guadalmar, Sacaba, Misericordia, San Andrés, Malagueta, Morlaco, Baños del Carmen, Pedregalejo, El Palo, El Dedo, La Fábrica, Peñón del Cuervo and La Araña, prior to the bathing season and biweekly thereafter. Both bathing waters and sediment samples were microbiologically analysed within twenty-four hours, confirming superior water quality.
– Málaga’s City Council has also renewed key quality certifications. The Tourist Quality ‘Q’, Universal Accessibility, and Sustainability ‘S’ for seven beaches: San Andrés, La Caleta, El Palo, El Dedo, Misericordia, Malagueta and Pedregalejo. These recognitions, together with seven Blue Flags awarded by Adeac and the 2025 Special Mention for Accessibility and Ecoplayas distinctions at Misericordia, Malagueta, and Pedregalejo, affirm Málaga’s enduring commitment to pristine, sustainable, and inclusive beaches.

TORRE DEL MAR
Want to impress your kids? Surprise them with a visit to this event! – Torre del Mar is hosting a new edition of BREAK SEASON, the key break dancing event of urban culture in the Costa del Sol: {Translation, summary}
– The event shall take place on Saturday, the 19th of July, in the vicinity of the Paseo Marítimo de Poniente, Torre del Mar, specifically at the location known as ‘Al Son del Rebalaje’, a privileged seaside setting providing an ideal stage to witness break dancing at its finest. Jesús Pérez Atencia, First Deputy Mayor of Vélez-Málaga and Deputy Mayor of Torre del Mar, presented the new edition of BREAK SEASON, an event already established as “one of the foremost references for urban culture on the Costa del Sol,” he declared.
– The event will commence with participant confirmations between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m., officially starting at 7:00 p.m.
This edition features a break dancing battle in a two-on-two format, assembling prominent dancers nationally and internationally. The winning team shall receive eight hundred euros, with two hundred euros awarded to the runners-up, recognising talent and commitment.
– The jury comprises three break dancing luminaries: PESTO of Last Alive, DEN of Ruffneck Attack, and KRIS of Malaganzters.
– Beyond competition, the event offers a complete cultural experience with live performances, including Akawave’s live looping, DJ Rafaka’s musical ambience, and Kid Frankie as Master of Ceremonies, guiding proceedings with professionalism and vigour.
– “BREAK SEASON is far more than a contest,” said Atencia. “It is a meeting place for youth, for those who view urban culture as a way of life, and for those who believe art is a means of expression and social transformation.” Source, Spanish: https://www.axarquiaplus.es/torre-del-mar-acoge-una-nueva-edicion-de-break-season-cita-clave-de-la-cultura-urbana-en-la-costa-del-sol/
MURCIA
Riots Update- “Happy slapping” or “Knockout game” may have motivated the attack on the elderly man in Torre Pacheco…absurd acts committed by young people as we enter the Clockwork Orange Era: {Translation, summary}
– In Torre Pacheco, ongoing disturbances trace back to a violent attack on a 68-year-old man, allegedly by youths recording the act for amusement, a phenomenon known as “happy slapping”. Originating in the UK in 2005, happy slapping involves recording assaults to share on social media, trivialising violence. Studies reveal motives include treating violence as a joke, blame shifting among peers, and seeking notoriety.
– Excessive mobile phone use is linked to increased violent tendencies. Rooted in socio-economic, cultural, and psychological factors, the act reflects distorted socialisation marked by peer pressure, lack of empathy, and impulsivity. Initially prevalent in deprived urban areas, happy slapping now spans all classes, facilitated by internet culture and group dynamics with roles of assailant, cameraman, and onlookers. In Spain, over 70,000 youths report its effects, closely tied to cyberbullying, urging urgent reinforcement of ethical and moral education.
– The phenomenon of “happy slapping” shares similarities with the so-called “knockout game” initially reported in the United States in 1992, before everyone carried cameras, though there are distinctions in context and specific behaviours.
– Both involve youths or groups attacking unsuspecting victims, often recording the assaults for entertainment or social notoriety. The motivation in both cases includes seeking attention, peer approval, and sometimes a form of thrill-seeking or boredom alleviation. Additionally, both practices reflect a troubling trivialisation of violence and an erosion of empathy among some young people.
– However, “happy slapping” is a broader term that encompasses various forms of recorded attacks—verbal, sexual, or physical—and originated in the UK as part of a wider cultural trend linked to the rise of mobile phone cameras and social media. The “knockout game,” as reported in America, typically refers more narrowly to the act of attempting to knock a victim unconscious with a single blow. In short, they are related phenomena reflecting youth violence recorded and disseminated via digital technology, though differing somewhat in form and emphasis.

Iceland’s once dormant Sundhnukur volcano erupts:
– A volcano once dormant in southwest Iceland erupted Wednesday for the 12th time in four years as nearby resort towns were evacuated as a safety precaution.
– The Sundhnukur volcano in the Reykjanes Peninsula on the west southern tip of Iceland spewed smoke and volcanic lava into the air in the latest set of activity after centuries of silence until 2021.
– Tourists, families, hotel guests and the public have been evacuated to safety as a precaution in Grindavík, the nearby Blue Lagoon resort and other local areas. However, despite this, no flight disruptions were reported at nearby Keflavík airport.
– Liquid hot magma reportedly created a fissure in the Earth’s crust around 2,296 feet and 3,280 feet long after an “intense earthquake swarm” was initially detected in the morning hours, according to Iceland’s meteorological office. Officials said a smaller fissure also opened west of Fagradalsfjall, estimated to be roughly 1,640 feet long. Full article: https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/07/16/4691752674578/

Trump calls own supporters ‘weaklings’ as MAGA’s Epstein backlash grows:
– US President Donald Trump has branded his own supporters “weaklings” and “stupid” for demanding the release of files related to the deceased financier and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump labelled the furore around the so-called Epstein files a “SCAM” and said his “PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullsh*t'”.
– It comes amid a growing rift within his Make America Great Again (MAGA) Republican coalition over the Epstein files and a “client list” that the FBI last week announced did not exist. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) last week announced it would not release any further documents related to Epstein or his suicide in a New York jail cell. The Justice Department also said that Epstein did not maintain a “client list” to whom underage girls were trafficked.
– The “client list” has been the central pillar of a number of conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein, and senior members of Mr Trump’s administration, including Attorney-General Pam Bondi, had previously promised to release it. {It looks like Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to trade the list for a release from prison in Florida. -Ed.

– After completing a six-month instructional cruise across four continents, Princess Leonor departs Marín to continue her military education at the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier.

Astronomers Catch a Solar System Being Born for the First Time Ever:
– Scientists have witnessed the earliest stages of planet formation ever observed, watching hot minerals crystallize into solid particles around a baby star 1,300 light-years away. This discovery, published in Nature, marks the first time researchers have caught a planetary system at the very moment when planets begin to form, providing a cosmic time machine to study our own solar system’s birth.
– The breakthrough came from studying HOPS-315, a young star surrounded by a swirling disc of gas and dust called a protoplanetary disc. Using the James Webb Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers detected silicon monoxide (SiO) transitioning from gas to solid crystalline minerals, the crucial first step in planet formation.

50-year-old ‘Gunsmoke’ Reruns More Popular than Disney’s Star Wars/Marvel Junk:
– Throughout the entire first half of 2025, reruns of Gunsmoke (1955-1975) earned more streaming minutes than any of the super-expensive woke crap pumped out by the Disney Grooming Syndicate on Disney+.
– Nielsen ranked the top 20 streaming programs for the first half of the year, and Disney+ earned just one title out of 20. Hilariously, it’s not even a Disney original show. Bluey is imported from Australia and distributed by Disney. It’s a sweet, little animated children’s show.
– Despite literally spending billions of dollars on a countless number of Marvel and Star Wars streaming shows, not a single one placed in the top 20, and yet a whole bunch of older shows did, including Grey’s Anatomy (#2), NCIS (#3), Family Guy (#4), Spongebob (#6), Criminal Minds (#13), and, yes, Gunsmoke (#18).
