AB The kinetic energy derived from the heavy rainfall constitutes one of the main factors of the geomorphologicalprocesses in Mediterranean environments, as well as in the landscape and the ecosystem modeling, resulting fromits extraordinary spatial and temporal variability.When the rainfall is analyzed, particularly in Mediterranean climate and in the context of Climate Change, it isnot only necessary to consider the total rainfall collected annually, but also it is essential to take into account othervariables as intensity, duration, and frequency.A series of extreme rainfall databases have been analyzed for the last 25 years (1993-2017), with daily, horaryand 10-minutes registers. These have been obtained from different weather stations belonging to the AgenciaEstatal de Meteorología –AEMET- and the S.A.I.H. Hydrosur Network, spatially distributed in two regions of theprovince of Malaga. (Guadalhorce and Axarquía). The results show the limited frequency of the events consideredas torrential rainfall according to the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología criteria ( 100mm/24h;  60mm/60’) anda high occurrence of shorts heavy downpours ( 10mm/10’), especially in recent years. These downpours havebeen classified as “geomorphological rainfall”, short events capable of activating hydro-soil processes, owing toits high intensity and the vulnerable conditions of the eco-geomorphological system in the study areas.
