Heat burst (“Satan’s Storm”) forces beach evacuations on Spain’s Costa Tropical

"A heat burst struck Spain’s Costa Tropical\ prompting beach evacuations in Motril, Salobreña
and Torrenueva Costa as the temperature spiked to 104°F and wind gusts reached 54 mph.

The episode affected beaches in Motril, Salobreña, Torrenueva Costa, and nearby areas, where winds lifted umbrellas and other equipment, prompting rapid beach clearances. Local media, citing 112 Andalucía, reported nearly 20 calls about flying objects, falling branches, and swimmers in difficulty.
The Guardia Civil maritime service and Salvamento Marítimo rescued five people: three near Playa de la Joya/Carchuna and two who were assisted by a motorboat." W
