In the Peninsula, an approaching Atlantic front will lead to increased instability in the north and northeast. Cloudy or overcast skies are expected, with precipitation extending eastward in the northern regions of Galicia and the Cantabrian area.
The rest of the northern and eastern parts of the Peninsula will experience an increase in cloudiness, with diurnal showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the Pyrenean area, Catalonia, and the Iberian system. Some of these storms could be locally heavy and accompanied by hail.
The Balearic Islands and the northern areas of the Canary Islands will have cloudy intervals, while the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy skies.
Maximum temperatures will decrease in most parts of the country, with a more significant drop in the northwest and relatively stable temperatures in the Mediterranean region. Nighttime temperatures will remain largely unchanged.
Winds will predominantly blow from the north in the northern half of the peninsula and the Canary Islands, with strong intervals along the west coast of Galicia and in the Canary Islands. Western winds will prevail in the southwest of the peninsula, while the Balearic Islands will experience winds from the east. The wind direction will be variable in the remaining areas of the country.
