Storms and showers: Andalusia weekend weather forecast March 7-10

Andalucía weather forecast, Saturday March 9

There will be frequent stormy episodes and showery weather in Andalucía this weekend, with the west and centre of the region bearing the brunt of the March rains after an extremely dry winter.

On Thursday March 7, the rains sweep across the community from west to east, dousing first Huelva and Seville in the early part of the day and bringing rain to Granada and Jaén in the evening, giving the west a chance to dry out. Almería, which won’t get much rain, is on yellow weather alert for Thursday, Friday and Saturday for strong winds along the coast.

There will be stormy intervals on Friday March 8, mainly in the centre of the region, around Córdoba and Málaga, though Cádiz will also get its fair share of rain, which becomes more widespread as we go into the night, setting up a very wet Saturday. Temperatures also drop by a couple of degrees for Friday and Saturday, before going back up again on Sunday.

There will also be thunderstorms in the north and northwest, while the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has extended its yellow weather alert to the entire Andalusian coast for strong winds of around 30-40kmh but which could reach as high as 50 or 60kmh at points, and for waves of up to 3 metres high.
