<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Cooler temperatures return to Spain: weather forecast April 18-21

Most of Spain basked in a summer atmosphere of clear skies and soaring temperatures this Easter weekend and while it doesn’t look like the county will return to the torrential rain of recent weeks, the next few days are set to be generally unsettled across the Peninsula.

Despite the record temperatures experienced over the weekend, with the mercury in Sevilla, Madrid and Girona climbing up to a sweltering 11ºC higher than normal, the cooler weather will return from Monday, bringing widespread rain as the week goes on.

Monday April 18

A weak Atlantic front will enter the north of Spain on Monday, binging increased cloud cover and rainfall in Galicia and Cantabria. Most of the country will remain overcast, although it will still be generally warm, with the Canary Islands expected to reach highs of 30ºC in some areas.

Galicia is on yellow alert for strong waves.

Tuesday April 19

The real change will arrive on Tuesday with temperatures dropping by as much as 10ºC in a matter of hours. In the couth of the county the mercury will remain more stable, and Malaga and Murcia are still expected to hit highs of between 22ºC and 23ºC.

Cloudy skies and widespread rainfall will prevail, with the exception of the extreme south. As the day goes on, however, the rain will spread to the south and east and storms haven’t been ruled out in the Balearic Islands.

Andalucía and Galicia are on yellow alert for strong waves while there is also a yellow warning in place in Aragon and Castilla-La Mancha for rain.

Wednesday April 20

The rain will continue into Wednesday, especially persistent in the north and east of the country, although there are currently no weather warnings in place. The temperatures will drop across Spain, with maximum daytime values of 21ºC expected in the Canary Islands.

Storms could rise in Castellon, Tarragona and eastern Aragon and haven’t been entirely ruled out in Murcia and Alicante.

Thursday April 21

Cloudy skies and showers are once again forecast on Thursday, which may be intense and persistent during the earlier part of the day. A new Atlantic storm will begin to approach the Galician coast, so weak rains are likely in Galicia in the last few hours, and may spread to nearby areas.

However, daytime temperatures will generally tend to rise, with highs of 22ºC and 23ºC forecast for Alicante, Malaga and Murcia.
