Rain is expected to spread along the Mediterranean coast from Tuesday, November 3, while temperatures begin to fall and snow becomes possible in northern mountain ranges.

People living in parts of eastern and southern Spain could be reaching for their umbrellas this week as a change in the weather brings more unsettled conditions from Tuesday, November 3, so make hay while the sun shines.

Monday, November 2, should be relatively pleasant across much of the mainland, with sunshine and mild temperatures. However, cloud and showers are expected to increase along the Mediterranean coast as the week progresses, with some areas will face locally heavy rain, especially in the north of Mallorca.

The change will be accompanied by a noticeable drop in daytime temperatures in several parts of the country, although southern coastal areas should avoid the sharpest chill.

Monday, November 2: Mostly sunny but showers on horizon

The working week should get off to a largely dry and sunny start in Malaga, Granada, Almeria and much of the Valencian Community. Forecast highs include around 22ºC in Malaga, 23ºC in Granada and 25ºC in Almeria. Murcia could reach 23ºC, while Alicante and Valencia are expected to see temperatures of approximately 22ºC.

There is a greater chance of afternoon showers around the Murcia region, while cloud is likely to increase along parts of the Mediterranean coast.

Tuesday, November 3: Rain moves across the Mediterranean

Tuesday looks set to bring the biggest change for people living along Spain’s eastern seaboard. Showers are forecast in parts of the Valencian Community, Alicante, Murcia and Almeria, with rain also possible around Malaga. The Denia area could see particularly unsettled conditions during the morning, while showers are expected in Alicante and Murcia at different points during the day.

Granada is expected to have a largely dry day, although cloud will increase and temperatures should be a little lower than on Monday. Daytime highs are forecast to reach around 22ºC in Malaga, 20ºC in Granada and Alicante, 23ºC in Almeria and 24ºC in Murcia. Valencia could struggle to get much above 19ºC, while Palma is expected to only reach around 18ºC.

Mallorca may also see showers, although the latest AEMET forecast does not currently confirm the yellow rain warning previously suggested. Residents and visitors can check the official AEMET weather warnings for any changes.

Wednesday, November 4: More unsettled weather and mountain snow

The unsettled conditions are expected to continue on Wednesday, particularly along the Mediterranean coast. Malaga and Almeria could see showers through much of the day, while Granada is forecast to have a cloudier afternoon with a chance of rain. Murcia may see showers during the morning before conditions gradually improve.

Valencia could also have some early rain, although the afternoon is expected to be largely cloudy rather than persistently wet. Alicante looks set to have a better day, with brighter spells and a much lower chance of rain. Mallorca may see the odd passing shower, but brighter intervals are also forecast.

Temperatures are expected to fall further in some areas, with highs of around 21ºC in Malaga and Almeria, 19ºC in Granada, Alicante and Valencia, and 20ºC in Murcia. Palma could climb back to around 21ºC.

Snow expected in northern mountains as temperatures fall

The change in weather will be more noticeable across parts of northern and north-eastern Spain. Snow is forecast in some of the higher mountain areas, particularly the Pyrenees, while the Picos de Europa and parts of the Iberian mountain system could also see wintry conditions.

Snow levels in the Pyrenees are expected to fall to around 1,300 to 1,600 metres in places, a good omen for the upcoming ski season. Frost is also possible at higher elevations across the northern half of the mainland. However, snow-capped peaks usually indicated a temperature drop for everyone.

Tenerife rain alert as snow appears on Mount Teide

The Canary Islands are also facing unsettled weather, with Tenerife under a rain alert in its metropolitan area and pre-alert status elsewhere on the island.

The Canary Islands Government said locally heavy showers could continue on Monday, November 2, particularly during the first part of the day, with the unsettled conditions potentially lasting into the early hours of Tuesday. Residents and visitors have been advised to follow updates as the situation develops.

Higher up, Mount Teide is already seeing a wintry change. AEMET forecasts the snow level falling towards 2,700 metres on Tuesday, bringing the possibility of snowfall on the island’s highest ground.

For much of Malaga, Granada and Almeria, daytime temperatures should still be relatively mild, even as cooler nights and more unsettled weather arrive.

The overall picture for November 2 to 4 is therefore one of changing conditions: a largely sunny Monday, a wetter Tuesday across parts of the east, and further showers on Wednesday, with the sharpest temperature changes expected further north.

Forecasts and weather warnings can change, so residents should check the latest updates from AEMET before travelling or making plans.

Spain is heading into Halloween weekend with contrasting weather conditions, as much of the mainland enjoys settled skies while the Canary Islands prepare for potentially heavy rain. The country has recently enjoyed a spell of unusually warm weather, but conditions are set to vary considerably between regions.

Meteorologist José Miguel Viñas has warned that three Canary Islands could receive more than 50 litres of rain per square metre over the coming days, with showers and thunderstorms expected to develop as a new weather system approaches.

Three Canary Islands face heavy rain

Tenerife, La Palma and El Hierro are the islands to watch, with the developing system potentially bringing substantial rainfall from Saturday, October 31, into the beginning of next week.

The forecast points to increasingly unsettled conditions, with the possibility of locally heavy showers and thunderstorms. A pocket of cold air high in the atmosphere is expected to help trigger the change. Similar weather concerns have recently featured in EWN’s coverage of heavy rain and storms threatening Spain’s Mediterranean coast.

Rainfall of 50mm or more could cause problems in vulnerable locations, particularly where water drains poorly. Residents and holidaymakers should follow local forecasts, especially if planning mountain walks or road journeys. The official weather alerts from the Canary Islands Government provide an additional source of information about declared emergency alerts.

Forecasts can change, however, and the predicted rainfall totals do not mean every part of the three islands will receive the same amount.

Mainland Spain enjoys a warmer Halloween

Conditions across much of mainland Spain are expected to be considerably calmer on Friday, October 30, as high pressure keeps skies largely clear.

Andalucia is set to enjoy some of the warmest temperatures, with Seville forecast to reach 29ºC, while Granada and Huelva could see highs of 27ºC. Madrid is expected to reach around 22ºC.

Rain is more likely along parts of the Mediterranean coast, particularly in Catalonia and the Valencian Community, where isolated showers are possible, making All Saint’s traditions a little wet.

The Balearic Islands face a greater risk of unsettled weather, with showers potentially becoming locally heavy and accompanied by thunderstorms around the middle of Friday.

Strong winds and a warning for travellers

Drivers and residents around the Strait of Gibraltar should also watch for strong easterly winds, with particularly powerful gusts possible during the early hours. Morning mist and fog could affect parts of Galicia and the Cantabrian coast, potentially reducing visibility on the roads.

Although much of the country looks set for a pleasant end to October, conditions will vary considerably between regions.

Residents should check AEMET’s latest weather forecasts and official warnings before travelling or spending time outdoors. Readers can also find the latest Spain weather news and forecasts in Euro Weekly News.
