The Atlantic storm Bernard, the second with great impact in this 2023-24 season in southwestern Europe, will influence the weather in a good part of Spain from this Sunday, since it will approach through the Gulf of Cádiz and sweep the southern peninsula to the north until this Monday with abundant rains, intense winds and rough seas.
The prediction of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) indicates that few areas will be outside the influence of Bernard. In fact, a front associated with that storm will cloud the sky in the Canary Islands and distribute rain throughout the archipelago, with less probability in the eastern islands.
Meteorology has activated warnings this Sunday in nine autonomous communities due to rain, wind or rough seas due to the second impact storm this fall. Adverse weather will appear mainly in the afternoon.
