The weather forecast indicates that this Sunday the Canary Islands will experience predominantly cloudy skies with weak, scattered showers, particularly in inland areas facing south and east, where they could become locally moderate during the central hours of the day.
Meanwhile, in Spain, the presence of a DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels) in the northern half of the peninsula will create instability, leading to storms and putting eleven provinces on yellow alert, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). Minimum temperatures will rise in much of the peninsula.
Specifically, the Autonomous Community of Navarre and La Rioja, along with the Catalan provinces of Lleida and Tarragona, the Castilian provinces of Avila, Burgos, Segovia, and Soria, and the Aragonese provinces of Huesca, Teruel, and Zaragoza, will be at risk.
Northern and Eastern Spain Forecast
Aemet’s forecast indicates persistent instability in the northern half and eastern third of the peninsula, with predominantly cloudy skies or intervals of cloudiness. Scattered rainfall is expected in the early hours in the north, with locally heavy showers possible near the Pyrenees, where there will also be weak frosts.
In the afternoon, heavy cloudiness is expected to develop in large areas of the interior of the peninsula and the Balearic archipelago. Storms will affect the northern half and the eastern third, being more likely and intense in eastern Castilla y León, the Central and Iberian systems, northern Aragon, and western Catalonia.
Canary Islands Forecast
In the Canary Islands, cloudy skies are expected, with likely rainfall in the islands of greater relief, although showers cannot be ruled out in the rest of the archipelago.
Temperature and Wind Conditions
- Temperatures: Maximum temperatures will rise in the northwest of the peninsula and fall in the eastern third. Minimum temperatures will rise in much of the peninsula but fall in the midlands of the Canary Islands. Cities like Seville and Cordoba will continue to reach maximum temperatures around 30ºC, while Castilla-La Mancha and León will have the lowest minimum temperatures at 5ºC.
- Snow and Frost: Light frosts are expected in the Pyrenees, with snow levels between 1,800 and 2,000 meters in the northwest and 2,000 meters in the northeast. Morning mist and fog are probable in large areas of the northern and eastern halves, as well as in the Balearic Islands and mountainous areas of the Canary Islands.
- Winds: North and east winds will prevail in the east of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands, with breezes along the Mediterranean coast. In the rest of the peninsula, winds will be from the north and west, with strong intervals in the Strait of Gibraltar and Alboran. In the Canary Islands, trade winds will dominate.
