Thunderstorms Forecast for Eastern Spain With Brief Cooling Expected

Official warnings from AEMET and Meteocat point to intense coastal downpours, hail, briefly lowering interior temperatures before a weekend heat rebound.

Overview

  • Meteocat has issued yellow and orange advisories for multiple Catalan comarcas and AEMET warns the Comunidad Valenciana of afternoon and evening chubascos and storms, with the highest risk on Wednesday.
  • Forecasters say coastal and prelitoral areas around Barcelona and parts of Girona and Tarragona could see locally very intense or torrential rainfall, hail and strong gusts that may produce flash flooding.
  • AEMET expects a notable drop in daytime highs in interior Valencia tied to the incoming instability, and Madrid shows roughly a 50% chance of afternoon showers and storms on Wednesday.
  • Large parts of Galicia, including many towns in Pontevedra province, are forecast to remain dry on Wednesday, highlighting a sharp east–west contrast in weather over the country.
  • Meteorological records from MeteoCangas confirm summer 2026 ranked among the warmest locally because of unusually high night minima, and forecasts call for temperatures to rebound in Andalusia and much of central Spain by the weekend.
