As March unfolds, a series of successive fronts announced by Cayetano Torres, spokesman for the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), promises a diverse mix of weather conditions across Spain. These fronts are expected to bring rain, wind, snow, cold temperatures, and frost, persisting into the following week. In the Canary Islands, the onset of March brings cloudy skies and precipitation, particularly concentrated in the northern regions.
Beginning with Friday, the mainland will experience the influence of two fronts. The first front will affect the Iberian Peninsula, bringing cloudy or overcast skies and precipitation, especially in the Pyrenees, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands. Meanwhile, a second front entering the northwest of the mainland will bring increasing cloudiness and precipitation, predominantly in Cantabria, Asturias, and Galicia, with significant snowfall expected in mountainous areas.
Throughout the weekend, an Atlantic front will traverse the mainland, resulting in widespread cloudy skies and rainfall, particularly in the northern regions. In the Balearic Islands, occasional precipitation accompanied by thunderstorms is anticipated. Similarly, the Canary Islands will experience cloudy skies with precipitation, primarily affecting the northern regions.
Looking ahead, unsettled weather conditions will persist into the following week, with rainfall expected to affect most of the mainland on Monday. Although maximum temperatures may rise slightly, frosts are forecasted for Tuesday, particularly in mountainous regions and northern areas.
March brings rain to Spain
In the last 24 hours, rainfall has been widespread across the mainland, with notable accumulations in various regions. Snowfall has been reported in mountainous areas, while maximum temperatures have varied across the country, with frosts occurring in many inland areas.
Overall, the weather outlook for the beginning of March suggests a dynamic mix of conditions across Spain, with rainfall, snow, and temperature fluctuations affecting different regions.
