Rain and Storms Return to Spain as Weekend System Sets Up a Sharp Cold Spell Next Week

AEMET warns a cold-air intrusion from Tuesday will drive temperatures well below normal.

Overview

  • Local forecast pages for Galicia report near-100% chances of rain and thunderstorms on Saturday with strong southerly gusts, reaching roughly 85 km/h in some towns.
  • AEMET says precipitation will resume in the Valencian Community from Saturday and likely persist for several days, with generally limited totals across Valencia, Alicante and Castellón.
  • After weeks of unusual warmth, conditions turn unstable this weekend before a marked temperature drop early next week that brings inland frosts and lower daytime highs.
  • Forecasters indicate snow is possible in exposed northern and high-elevation areas, with more persistent precipitation favored over the Cantabrian coast and the Balearic Islands.
  • Across the border in Calexico and Mexicali, authorities urge residents to secure outdoor items and check drainage to reduce flooding risk, noting prior September emergency declarations tied to heavy rains.
