Official advisories point to light, persistent rain with strong southerly gusts in Galicia, with temperatures overall still above seasonal norms.

Overview

  • After an anticyclonic warm spell, AEMET and Euskalmet forecast midweek showers in Spain’s central peninsula that expand to the western half by Friday.
  • Galician municipalities report very high rain probabilities with mostly light totals and extensive cloud cover, according to AEMET‑based local bulletins.
  • Southerly winds remain the key hazard in the northwest, with forecasts citing significant gusts in exposed areas up to about 75 km/h and rough coastal conditions.
  • Bilbao is expected to dip to roughly 15°C highs and 10°C lows midweek before a brief temperature rebound later in the week.
  • In Argentina, the SMN identified Dec. 9 as the week’s most unstable day in Buenos Aires with 23–31 km/h winds, 42–50 km/h gusts and limited afternoon shower chances, while Mendoza trends warmer near 31°C with isolated storms and a greater risk of precipitation on Thursday, including possible snow on the Chilean side of Paso Cristo Redentor.
