General weather conditions
This Saturday, stability is expected in a large part of the territory, with mainly clear skies. Only Galicia, the Cantabrian area and the upper Ebro can experience cloudy skies with the possibility of morning fog and light rain due to the presence of an Atlantic front.
Precipitation and clouds
In addition, clouds are expected to develop in regions of the north-east and north of Castile and Leon, with possible showers and occasional storms, especially in the Iberian and Pyrenees. Other inland areas could see some dry storms.
Low clouds in several areas
Intervals of low clouds are forecast on the coasts of Alborán, generating fogs and coastal mists. The Canary Islands will have partly cloudy skies, with the possibility of light showers in the higher islands.
General drop in temperatures
The AEMET predicts a drop in temperatures in a large part of the country, more noticeable in the maximum. However, temperatures in interior areas of the south and north-east half of the Peninsula, as well as in parts of the Balearic Islands and the south of the Canary Islands, will exceed 35 degrees. In some areas of Andalusia, Murcia and the south of the Valencian Community, temperatures could exceed 40 degrees.
prevailing winds
The winds will be from the south in the eastern Mediterranean, from the north in the Cantabrian area and from the west in the rest of the country. In Alborán, intervals of strong westerly wind are expected. In the Canary Islands, trade winds are expected with intensification in the channels.
