After two harsh meteorological setbacks, two storms in just 15 days, the weather will stabilize this weekend in most of Spain, although the lingering effects of a storm that is no longer a storm will continue to bring rain to the southwest of the Peninsula and the Canary Islands, where precipitation may be locally intense. According to Rubén del Campo, spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), temperatures will be high for the time of year after a brief taste of winter and may even exceed 25° on thermometers in the south. Next week will start similarly, with rain in the Canary Islands and more stable weather in the Peninsula. However, by Tuesday, rain will begin in the northern regions and extend to other areas, with temperatures expected to drop mid-week but rise again afterwards. On Friday, the storm system previously known as a “dana” evolved into a cold isolated low pressure system as it moved southwest away from the Peninsula. This new system will linger near the Peninsula and bring isolated showers to the Mediterranean region.
The former storm system will continue to affect the southwest of the Peninsula, particularly in Huelva and possibly extending to Cadiz, with heavy rain and storms forecasted. Other western regions of Andalusia will also see rainfall. Alerts have been issued in these areas for heavy rain and the possibility of waterspouts. In the rest of Spain, stable weather and rising temperatures are expected, with temperatures reaching over 20° in the Cantabrian region and nearly 25° in the Guadalquivir valley. Rainfall may also occur in parts of Extremadura and southern Castilla y León, but not enough to warrant alerts. In the Canary Islands, heavy rain is expected due to the proximity of the low pressure system.
On Saturday, the unstable weather will persist in the same areas as Friday, with rain expected in the Canary Islands and the central regions of the Peninsula. The rain may be heavy and accompanied by storms, but will not be as severe as earlier in the week. Some showers may also occur in other southern regions and the Mediterranean area, while the rest of the country will have calm weather with mild temperatures. Sunday will see sandstorms in the skies and fog in the inland regions of the Peninsula. Rain will continue in the Canary Islands, possibly in the form of heavy showers and storms. Temperatures will rise further and be much milder than normal in many parts of Spain.
Monday will be another quiet day, with no rain in the Peninsula or the Balearic Islands, but continued rainfall in the Canary Islands. Fog and mist may persist in the Peninsula, while temperatures remain stable. By Tuesday, temperatures may start to drop due to the arrival of a cold front associated with an Atlantic storm. This will bring rain to the northern regions and snow in the mountains, creating a colder weather pattern. On Wednesday, the cold front will linger, bringing cooler temperatures and more rain to the northern regions and snow in the mountains. The second half of the week is uncertain, with a possibility of rain in the north and west of the Peninsula due to Atlantic fronts, while the Mediterranean region may remain dry. Temperatures may rise above normal levels by Thursday, with rainfall decreasing in the Canary Islands.
