The arrival of spring is not yet fully felt in Spain. This Monday, six autonomous communities are under warning due to maritime storms and strong gusts of wind.

Mallorca, Menorca and areas of the Catalan coast are on orange alert due to strong waves, while in other parts of the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands the risk is lower, although there are also warnings. In the Canary Islands, in addition, some islands such as La Palma, Fuerteventura or Lanzarote are under warning due to haze, that is, dust in the air.
In the north of the peninsula, overcast skies with weak and continuous rains are expected, especially in the Cantabrian Sea and the Pyrenees.
