After several weeks marked by episodes of intense rain and the presence of successive storms In much of the Spanish geography, meteorological models predict a notable change in trendThe most recent predictions confirm that the storms lose strength and they begin to move away from the Iberian Peninsula, which marks the beginning of a period dominated by high pressures and rising temperatures. Once this transition occurs, you will experience a calmer and less variable weather, although some areas will still experience some instability, especially in mountainous areas and in the north of the country.
Why does this weather change occur?
The main factor behind this scenario is the withdrawal of the Atlantic storms that have affected the Peninsula for weeks. High pressures prevail progressively, generating a more stable and dry atmosphere that makes it difficult for new active fronts to form. According to the latest analyses, the Cold air in the upper layers of the atmosphere will lose influence, although it could still cause some afternoon instability, especially in the mountain ranges.
The immediate effect of this change will be a progressive increase in temperatures in large areas of the territory. The maximum temperatures will experience a especially notable rebound in the interior of the southeast of the peninsula, the valleys and depressions of the south, as well as in areas of the north and the Balearic archipelago. Minimum temperatures will also tend to rise, although less intensely, and in some southwestern regions and on the islands, there will be barely any significant variations.
Detailed forecast: What to expect in each area?
In the northern halfDespite the general rise in temperatures, models indicate that The sky will continue to be considerably cloudy., especially in Galicia, the Cantabrian Sea and the Pyrenees. In these regions, the possibility of Light drizzle, especially in the morning or afternoon, as well as some localized showers in mountain areas.
La central zone and the northwest of the peninsula will also be affected by cloudy periods and the possibility of light rainfall. However, the general trend is towards a more dry and with rising temperaturesIn the rest of the Peninsula, partly cloudy skies will predominate and the chances of rain will be low.
At Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands The coming days are expected to pass with low rainfall, mild weather and a gradual rise in temperatures. The same scenario is seen in the main southern capitals, where thermometers could even reach or exceed the 25 degrees at the central moments of the day.
Canary Islands and mountain areas: stability and nuances
El Canary archipelago will maintain a relatively stable situation, with cloudiness mainly on the islands of higher relief, especially in the north, where some could appear light precipitationThe rest of the islands will enjoy cloudy intervals without significant rain. With respect to windModerate to strong gusts are expected in the most exposed areas of the archipelago, although without worrying values.
In the highest areas of the Pyrenees This shift towards stability will be less noticeable. They will continue to be recorded night frosts and may occur snowfall at high altitudes, although the trend indicates that the snow level will rise until it reaches above the 1.800 or 2.000 meters as the week progresses.
Wind and local storms: certain exceptions
Despite the general improvement in the weather, the conditions of instability will not completely disappearExperts warn that the cold air, although decreasing in the middle and upper layers, could still cause occasional storms in the afternoons, especially in the Central System, Iberian System and the PyreneesThese events will be very localized, and extensive or persistent rainfall is not expected.
As to wind, the scene is relaxed compared to previous days. Except in coastal areas where it can blow with a certain intensity, mainly in the Cantabrian coast, Galicia and southeastern areas, in the interior of the Peninsula the predominant ones are light or variable winds without any major surprises.
Outlook for the coming days
Medium-term forecasts consolidate this new drier and warmer pattern, leaving behind the trail of chained storms that marked the beginning of spring. Meteorological models agree that, in general, stability will be the dominant note for at least the first few days after the change, although the appearance of evolving clouds and some scattered showers in mountainous areas cannot be ruled out.
El fireplace It is towards the normalization of temperatures, with an atmosphere more typical of the second half of April: softer lows and highs that will rise gradually, leaving behind the cold and winter feeling that predominated until recently, except of course at high altitudes where the cold air takes longer to retreat.
La thermal sensation will be again spring atmosphere in most of the peninsula, and warm clothing will start to be in excess during the central hours of the day, especially in cities and points in the south and east.
