With the arrival of autumn, unstable weather is returning to Spain. After a brief warm spell, a new storm is approaching the country and is expected to change the usual climate in the coming days. The atmospheric front, which formed over the Atlantic, is moving toward the Iberian Peninsula and, according to forecasts, will bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
The cause of these changes is the ex-tropical depression, formerly known as Hurricane Gabrielle. After passing through the Azores, it lost its tropical characteristics but can still trigger significant weather events. Despite weakening, the storm retains the potential to cause downpours and strong wind gusts, particularly in the western and southern regions of the country.
Forecasters note that the heaviest rainfall is expected on Sunday. The rains will begin in the west and gradually spread inland. Special attention should be paid to Andalucía, Extremadura, and Castilla-La Mancha, where substantial moisture accumulation and strengthening winds are possible. In these regions, residents are advised to exercise extra caution when traveling and stay updated on weather forecasts.
The southwest coast and the Bay of Cádiz area will also be affected by the force of the sea: high waves and stormy winds are expected. Meanwhile, in the east and Mediterranean provinces, the impact will be less severe—there will be only brief showers and cloudiness. Authorities advise not to neglect safety measures, especially in areas where the weather may be at its harshest.
The weather in the coming days will change rapidly, and residents should be prepared for nature’s unexpected twists. Autumn in Spain is just beginning, but is already bringing its surprises.
