Warm and sunny weather to carry on across Spain until at least the weekend
SUMMER-LIKE temperatures and clear blue skies are predicted to continue this week throughout most of Spain – a sharp contrast to the usual climate for late October, according to the State meteorological agency AEMET.
Although today (Tuesday) could bring isolated and fairly heavy showers in parts of Catalunya, Valecia and the west of the Canary Islands, this is expected to be a blip and the rest of this week will be warm and sunny with temperatures in the mid- to high-20s.
More turbulent weather conditions are likely to be seen on Saturday, the first day of November, but Wednesday, Thursday and Friday – Hallowe'en – will continue much the same as they have been so far this month.
The south-west of the mainland is likely to remain dry and cloudless all week, and any fall in temperature will only be of around 1ºC or 2ºC except in the Canary Islands, where the mercury will plunge further, although will still remain higher than average for the time of year.
No further rain is expected until at least the weekend, and southerly winds will bring warmth to the Mediterranean coast – although they could be particularly strong across the Strait of Gibraltar.
Friday could be cloudy, but will not get any colder except in the far north-west, says AEMET.
Any wind and rain forecast for the north on Saturday and Sunday may not reach the rest of the mainland and islands for at least another day, which could mean residents on the south and east coasts get to spend the weekend, if not on the beach, at least enjoying the outdoors without taking the usual late-October coats and jackets with them.
