Madrid will see a week of clouds and intermittent rain, with temperatures gradually rising, information from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). Tuesday is expected to remain mostly cloudy, with a 10% chance of rain, while showers are forecast on several days through the weekend.
On Tuesday, clouds will linger over the city until midday, and temperatures should reach 26 degrees by late afternoon. Southern breezes will stay light. Humidity will linger, and clouds are expected to persist, especially at night.
Wednesday brings another change: light rain is likely from early morning until noon, then skies will clear. The high will remain at 26 degrees. The low is forecast to rise to 22, though the coldest part of the day will feel closer to 18. Winds will be calm and from the southwest. Temperatures are rising after a cooler Monday, a trend confirmed by meteorological bulletins.
AEMET says September 2026 is on track to become Spain's warmest since 1961, with an average temperature of 22.4°C, or 3.3°C above the historical norm.
Thursday could bring more rain. Overnight clouds will break up, but scattered showers are expected during the day. The high will reach 28 degrees, while nighttime lows drop to 17. This unsettled pattern is expected to continue into the weekend. Madrid saw late-summer highs of 33 to 35 degrees and almost no rain just a few days ago; now the weather is less predictable. AEMET said Madrid saw marked cooling on September 28, with maximum temperatures dropping to around 22°C and a high probability of rain. That signaled the start of a frontal transition before the current warming trend.
Saturday and Sunday are expected to bring more clouds and light rain. Saturday's high will be 25 degrees and the low 16. Little change is forecast for Sunday, with temperatures between 23 and 15 degrees. Winds will stay weak, with only a faint breeze. Madrid forecasts use AEMET data, while Spanish media provide further details on cloud cover, temperature peaks and wind shifts.
The unsettled weather extends beyond Madrid. Las Rozas de Madrid will see heavy clouds, with temperatures rising from 12 degrees at dawn to 26 in the afternoon. In Brunete, the day will begin cloudy and become cloudier after midday. Lows will dip just below 13 degrees and highs will reach 27. 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.
Recent reports on northern regions show the same mix of clouds, rain and changing temperatures across Spain. Madrid, but, is not seeing wild extremes; the city is caught between clouds, rain and a gradual warming trend.
Mornings are cool, and showers can pop up at any time. Winds will remain weak, and temperature swings are not expected to be too sharp, though the forecast could change. Residents should watch for updates from AEMET.
