After three weeks without significant rainfall, starting on Thursday and ending on Sunday, an episode of widespread rain is expected throughout Spain, with very significant accumulations on the peninsular Atlantic coast and less heavy accumulations in the Mediterranean and Canary Islands, according to the forecast. the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).
Until that day there will be no big changes in the weather. Today, anticyclonic weather is expected to continue in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, although the approach of an isolated depression at high levels (DANA) is expected to increase medium and high cloudiness in the Peninsula.
The agency has activated yellow warnings in up to six autonomous communities due to poor visibility between 200 and 400 meters: Basque Country, Balearic Islands, Aragon, Catalonia, Galicia and Navara.
No major changes in temperatures are expected for this Monday. Frosts will occur in the Pyrenees and in the south of Iberia, which, in a dispersed manner, may extend to other mountains in the northern half, the northern plateau and the east of the southern plateau. There will be big swings at some points. In Granada, for example, the minimum will be 0 degrees and the maximum will be 20.
The change in weather will not occur until Wednesday, when the transition from an anticyclonic regime to a more Atlantic one is expected, with a DANA finishing crossing the eastern peninsula and the Balearic Islands, as well as the approach of an Atlantic front from the west.
That day, precipitation is already expected during the second half of the day in Galicia, more likely and abundant in the west where it could be locally persistent. In a dispersed and less probable way, they can occur in other areas of the northwest half of the peninsula.
For Thursday, rainfall will be significant in the western half of the peninsula, the Cantabrian area and the western Pyrenees, although further progress cannot be ruled out, although less likely the further east. In the Mediterranean area they are very unlikely. They can be locally strong and persistent in Galicia, west of the Central System and the Cantabrian mountain range.
The rainiest day will be Friday, when a drop in temperatures is also expected, more markedly in the southeastern half of the peninsula and without major changes in the Canary Islands.
