Madrid faces a week of dense clouds, scattered rain, and rising temperatures. The State Meteorological Agency outlines a pattern of changing skies, with local variations and a weekend marked by showers and mild breezes.
Madrid woke up to thick clouds and a slow rise in temperature. The State Meteorological Agency, AEMET, says the city will see a mix of rain and sun this week. Tuesday looks gray. Clouds will hang over the city until midday. By late afternoon, the temperature should hit 26 degrees. Southern breezes stay light. Humidity lingers. AEMET puts the chance of rain at just 10% for Tuesday, but the clouds will stick around, especially at night.
Wednesday brings another change. Light rain is likely from early morning until noon. After that, skies should clear up. The high stays at 26 degrees. The low creeps up to 22, but the coldest part of the day will feel closer to 18. Winds turn calm and come from the southwest. The weather is warming up after a cooler Monday. Meteorological bulletins confirm this trend.
September 2026 in Spain is on track to become the warmest since 1961, with an average temperature of 22.4°C—3.3°C above the historical norm.
Thursday could bring more rain. Clouds overnight will break up, but scattered showers are expected during the day. The temperature barely moves. The high reaches 28 degrees. Nights get cooler, with lows dropping to 17. This unsettled pattern should last into the weekend. Madrid residents will want to keep umbrellas close. Just a few days ago, the city saw late-summer heat with highs of 33 to 35 degrees and almost no rain. Now, the weather is much less predictable.
Saturday and Sunday look similar. AEMET expects more clouds and light rain. Saturday's high will be 25 degrees. The low drops to 16. Sunday changes little, with temperatures between 23 and 15 degrees. Winds stay weak. Only a faint breeze moves the air. All forecasts for Madrid use AEMET data.

On September 28, Madrid saw a marked cooling, with maximum temperatures dropping to around 22°C and a high probability of rain, signaling the start of a frontal transition before the current warming trend.
The unsettled weather is not just in Madrid. Las Rozas de Madrid will see heavy clouds. Temperatures start at 12 degrees at dawn and climb to 26 by afternoon. In Brunete, the day begins cloudy and gets even cloudier after midday. Lows dip just below 13 degrees. Highs reach 27. Other towns—Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, Cuenca, Tomelloso, Ciudad Real, Valladolid, San Sebastián, Níjar, Cartagena, Jaén, Barcelona, Gandia, and Logroño—face similar swings. AEMET says these details may change as new updates come in.
This weather fits a bigger pattern across Spain. Recent reports on northern regions show the same mix of clouds, rain, and changing temperatures. Madrid, though, is not seeing wild extremes. Instead, the city is caught between clouds, rain, and a slow warming trend.
