The emergence of Olivier’s storm
Meteorologist Roberto Brasero has shared his predictions for Easter, emphasizing the arrival of the Olivier storm, which has left behind the Canary Islands and is now approaching the peninsula. According to Brasero, this situation will cause significant changes in the weather conditions in much of Spain.
Expected rains and affected areas
As it approaches Friday, forecasts indicate that storms will be more likely in regions such as southern Andalusia, Extremadura and Galicia. Also, heavy rainfall are expected in Asturias and in the western areas of Castile and León. The effect of the calitja will also be noticed, causing clay rains in the most affected areas.
Temperature changes
Brasero said that temperatures in Cantabrian could experience a slight increase, while in the rest of the country the temperatures will be adversely affected, with a colder atmosphere than recently. Forecasts for the following week suggest that the situation could make it even worse.
Forecasts for the weekend
It is expected that the storm is expected to continue affecting the peninsula, with widespread showers, especially in the south and southeast during the morning. In the afternoon, the rains will extend throughout the rest of the territory. The exceptions include Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, where the probability of rain is minimal.
Sunday of Rams: a day of contrast
For Rams Sunday, the morning promises to be calmer with clear skies in various regions. However, in the afternoon, new clouds are expected to be raised, especially in the northeast. In the Canary Islands, the rains will be smoother.
Holy Monday: Transition expectations
According to Brasero forecasts, on Holy Monday it could be a rainy day in the morning in areas of northern Aragon and Catalonia, which could be extended to Galicia in the afternoon. In the rest of the country, varied skies with few rainfall are foreseen, especially in Extremadura and Andalusia.
What comes after
Looking further, on Tuesday and Wednesday they could have a significant decrease in temperatures, with the possibility of arrival of polar air that could cause snowfall in the northern mountains. Alternatively, an Atlantic front could wear more rains, though with less cold temperatures.
Final reflections
With this variable weather scene, it is important to be ready to face the possible inclement that could affect Easter celebrations. The current forecast suggests that the umbrellas will be an essential element for many these days.
