Weather Forecast for Spain and the Canary Islands

Spain and the Canary Islands are set to experience a mix of weather patterns over the coming days, according to the latest meteorological predictions.

In La Rioja, maximum temperatures are expected to record moderate increases, while minimum temperatures will remain unchanged. In contrast, most of the Mediterranean arc, extreme western Galicia, and the rest of the Peninsula, except for the upper Ebro, northeastern Castile and León, Cantabria, and northern Galicia, will see a decrease in maximum temperatures. However, these regions, along with the Aran Valley in Catalonia, will experience a local increase in temperatures.

The Canary Islands and the northeast quadrant of the Peninsula are expected to witness an increase in temperatures, with the Canaries seeing a more intense rise. Minimum temperatures in the archipelagos will increase, while they will decrease in the North Plateau, Ebro, and extreme southwestern Peninsula.

Light dust from the Sahara desert is possible in the southwestern quadrant of the Peninsula and in the eastern Canary Islands. A predominance of south and east components is expected in the rest of the Mediterranean slope and in the Balearic Islands, and south and west in the Atlantic.

Clear or mostly clear skies are forecast throughout the country, with occasional high clouds and no precipitation. Scattered fog patches will be present in northern Galicia, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, and on the Atlantic coast of Andalusia. Intervals of cloud development are expected in the main mountainous areas of the Peninsula, with isolated dry thunderstorms possible in eastern Andalusia.

Winds will be light and variable in Navarre, La Rioja, Aragon, Catalonia, Castile-La Mancha, and Valencia. Moderate winds with probable intervals of strong trade winds are expected in the Canary Islands, levante in the Strait, and northeast winds on the northwestern Galician coasts.

Temperatures in most of the Peninsula are expected to exceed 34-36 degrees, with locally reaching 40 in wide areas of the southern Atlantic slope. In Andalusia, temperatures can reach up to around 42°C during heat waves, often with dry, hot conditions and occasional strong winds. However, a recent shift has brought cooler, more unstable weather with rain, wind gusts up to 46 km/h, and thunderstorms, especially near the Costa del Sol region like Nueva Andalucía. The specific weather conditions in the Canary Islands were not detailed in the search results.

Isolated thunderstorms in the interior mountains in the afternoon are expected in Andalusia. Minimum temperatures will decrease slightly in the northeast quadrant and extreme north, with little change in the rest of the country. They will not drop below 20-22 degrees, even locally 25, in the southern half of the Atlantic slope, in the depressions of the northeast, and in the Mediterranean.

In summary, Spain and the Canary Islands are set to experience a mix of weather patterns, with many regions seeing increases in maximum temperatures and clear skies, while others will experience decreases in temperatures and the possibility of dust from the Sahara desert. Andalusia may see temperatures over 40 degrees during heat waves, but a recent shift has brought cooler, more unstable weather with rain and thunderstorms. The Canary Islands are expected to have moderate winds and temperatures, but specific conditions were not detailed in the search results.
