Gabrielle to Lose Hurricane Status Near Azores, Then Approach Galicia This Weekend

Marine hazards are the main concern for Galicia given the system's broader footprint.

Overview

  • Spain's AEMET says Gabrielle will reach the Azores on Friday and then cease being a hurricane as it undergoes extratropical transition.
  • The U.S. National Hurricane Center is maintaining hurricane monitoring for the Azores and projects the system's path toward the Iberian region.
  • MeteoGalicia expects the ex‑tropical storm to pass very near Galicia on Saturday, with clouds, moderate rain and gusty winds most likely in western areas.
  • Forecasters flag high seas, strong waves and breezy conditions for the western Iberian coast while noting significant uncertainty in the exact track and intensity.
  • A weaker influence could extend toward Andalusia early next week with roughly 10–20 mm of rain and 30–40 km/h winds if the system reaches that far, a scenario described as highly uncertain.
