Aemet warns of new Atlantic storm bringing 'significant' amounts of rain to these parts of Spain

Spain registered some heavy rainfall in the province of Huelva in the Andalucía region which led to flooding and the death of one person. Although stability prevailed over the weekend, a new storm is expected to hit the country in the coming days.

According to the state meteorological agency Aemet, there is a high probability of an Atlantic storm arriving between today (Monday) and 9 November. The fronts linked to this storm are expected to discharge more rain in the west and the north of the country, although there is uncertainty about the precise amount of precipitation.

The weather this Monday, 3 November, will be mostly stable. The level of humidity in the Mediterranean areas could bring occasional showers over the islands and the coast of Catalonia, and cannot be ruled out in Valencia, Murcia or Almeria.

From the afternoon onwards, the approaching weather fronts will bring rain to western Galicia. Very strong gusts of northerly winds are also expected in the lower Ebro Valley at first, followed by southerly winds along the Galician coast later in the day.

As for temperatures, maximum temperatures are expected to decrease in the Mediterranean areas and in the west of the Canary Islands. Minimum temperatures will also fall on the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands. However, temperatures may still exceed 30C in the Canary Islands.

The Atlantic front will be fully felt in Cantabria, Asturias, the north-west of Castilla y León and Galicia from Tuesday onwards. There is a high chance that it will bring "significant rainfall, thunderstorms and hail".

More stable weather is expected in the rest of Spain, with low morning clouds in the south-east quadrant and cloudy skies along the Mediterranean coast, with possible rain in the Strait of Gibraltar and occasional showers on the coasts of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Clear skies and some intervals with high clouds are expected in the Canary Islands.

Maximum temperatures will increase in the Canary Islands, but there will be little change in the rest of the country. Minimum temperatures may rise over most of the Spanish mainland.
