After an adverse Wednesday throughout Spain due to the passage of , which caused numerous problems, this Thursday the weather on the Peninsula will remain unstable due to the arrival of new Atlantic storms. The State Meteorological Agency () maintains active orange warnings, which indicate significant risk, in Almería, Granada and Murcia, due to strong winds; in A Coruña, Lugo and Pontevedra, due to rough seas, and in Cádiz, due to accumulated rainfall.
The meteorological agency has also activated the yellow level, which corresponds to low danger, in Córdoba, Jaén, Málaga, Seville and Albacete, due to accumulation of rain and winds; on the coasts of Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country and Mallorca, due to rough seas; and in Alicante, Valencia, Ceuta and Melilla, due to strong gusts of wind.
Rain will mark the day in much of the country, according to Rubén del Campo, with more frequent and intense rainfall in the south of Galicia and in mountainous areas of Andalusia, where it could last for several hours. Heavy showers are expected in the Cantabrian Sea, which could be accompanied by storms and hail. In the second half of the day, the rains will tend to decrease and some clearings will open, according to forecasts, with the exception of the south of the peninsula, the northwest quadrant and the Cantabrian Sea.
It will snow in the mountains of the center and half of the north, with a height of 1,000 meters, which will rise to 1,500 meters in the Pyrenean environment. In the rest of the northeast and north-central quadrant the elevation will be above 1,800 meters and in the northwest it will drop to 1,300 meters. Temperatures will have a general rise, although the minimum temperatures will occur at the end of the day. In Bilbao, values close to 20 degrees Celsius will be reached and in Murcia, they will exceed 25 degrees.
With the arrival of the weekend, the storm will give a truce. Weaker and more scattered rains are expected on Friday, although it will continue to rain in the center and north of the Peninsula, especially in Galicia. The wind will continue to blow strongly in the north and east, and temperatures will be somewhat lower, although still mild for the season.
Saturday’s day will be marked by rain in large areas of the north and west of the Peninsula. Some weak rainfall is not ruled out in other parts of the peninsular territory, although the Mediterranean area will be left out. Snow will appear in the Cantabrian Sea and the Pyrenees from relatively low levels, between 700 and 1,000 meters. The wind will blow with very strong gusts in areas of the northeast of the peninsula and in the Balearic Islands. Temperatures will drop slightly.
A more active front will arrive on Sunday, accompanied by humid and mild winds. It will leave abundant rains in the west of the Peninsula, with a special impact on Galicia and around the Central System. The snow level will be at higher levels due to rising temperatures. This thermal increase will be notable in the south of the Mediterranean area and in the Guadalquivir Valley, where temperatures will exceed 20 degrees.
In the Canary Islands, cloudy intervals will predominate during the rest of the week, especially in the north of the islands with greater relief, where some light rains cannot be ruled out. In the south, the weather will be clearer. Winds will generally blow light or moderate, with occasional strong gusts. Temperatures will rise, with minimums between 16 and 18 degrees and maximums between 21 and 23 degrees in coastal areas.
