Extended Unstable Weather in Spain Brings Heavy Rains and Strong Winds

Spain continues to experience unstable weather due to Atlantic fronts causing widespread rainfall and strong winds across various regions. Heavy rain is particularly expected in western Galicia, the Estrecho area, Cádiz, and near the Béticas mountains, with Andalucía placed under an orange alert for intense rainfall in the Grazalema-Cádiz area. The Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued yellow warnings for severe weather, including heavy precipitation, snow, and strong winds in eight communities and Ceuta.

Wind gusts from the west and south are forecasted along the northwestern coast, the Alborán Sea coast, and parts of the Balearic Islands. Snowfall is anticipated in northern and central mountainous areas, with snowlines varying from 1,000 to 2,500 meters depending on the region, and weak frost expected in high areas, particularly the Pyrenees.

Temperatures are expected to fluctuate, with maximum temperatures dropping in the northeastern interior while rising in the southern interior and other areas. Meanwhile, minimum temperatures will decrease in the Balearic Islands and northeast but increase in the western half of the Peninsula, the Canary Islands, and the Alborán region. The Canary Islands will experience light to moderate north winds and mostly clear skies or intermittent clouds.

Overall, Spain faces several days of unsettled weather marked by cloudy skies, varying precipitation intensities, and temperature shifts as these Atlantic fronts continue to impact the country.
