Mud rain will star in the weather this Thursday in many areas of Spain. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) predicts an Atlantic circulation with the passage of a front that will cause cloudy skies to predominate and will occasionally leave precipitation in the form of showers in the western half of the peninsula.
The rains may spread, with less probability, over large areas of the eastern half of the peninsula. They could be locally strong and accompanied by a storm in the western half of Andalusia, where the agency has activated the yellow warning (risk). No precipitation is expected in the Balearic Islands.
In addition, a tongue of suspended dust is expected to cross the Peninsula from west to east, so the rains will be in the form of mud, warns Aemet.
Temperatures will be milder. The maximum temperatures will tend to decrease in the western half of the peninsula and in the Canary Islands, and will increase in the interior of the eastern half of the peninsula. The minimums will decrease in the western and southern thirds of the peninsula and in the Canary Islands. There will be weak frosts in the Pyrenees.
Even so, they will be especially high in Santa Cruz de Tenerife (25), Bilbao and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (24), and Granada, Murcia and Santander (23). It will cool in Ávila, Lugo and Madrid (16).
In the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, winds from the south will predominate at first, with a tendency to roll to the west, with strong intervals in the Cantabrian Sea. There will be intervals of strong easterly at the beginning in the Strait, tending to roll to a moderate west. In the Canary Islands, winds will blow from the north, with the trade wind tending to enter.
The front is expected to continue active this Friday, when a more pronounced drop in temperatures is also expected in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
The instability will not last long. For the weekend, Aemet spokesperson Cayetano Torres expects “stable weather, with very cloudy skies in the western half and maximum temperatures rising and minimum temperatures falling.”
