Spain is gearing up for a dramatic weather shift this weekend, as temperatures in certain inland regions are forecasted to plummet to as low as 3°C before rebounding to warmer conditions. Central and northern areas will experience chilly mornings, whereas southern parts of the country could witness afternoon highs exceeding 30°C.
In cities like Ávila, temperatures may drop to 3°C, while Segovia could see lows of 4°C. Other inland areas such as Burgos, León, Salamanca, and Huesca are expected to experience temperatures around 5°C. Conversely, southern cities like Seville and Huelva are predicted to reach highs of 31°C, with Granada, Málaga, and Almería reaching approximately 27°C. Cádiz and Córdoba are anticipated to hit around 28°C.
The stark contrast in temperatures suggests residents and visitors might need to adapt their clothing choices throughout the day, wearing warmer outfits in the morning and lighter ones as temperatures rise in the afternoon, depending on their location.
Alongside these temperature fluctuations, several regions are under weather warnings for heavy rain, thunderstorms, strong winds, and rough sea conditions. Particularly affected areas include parts of the Mediterranean coast and southern Spain. Girona’s coastline faces orange warnings for strong winds and waves of three to four meters, while Menorca could see waves reaching four to five meters. Mallorca, Ceuta, and Lanzarote also remain under alerts for adverse weather conditions.
These conditions are likely to impact ferry services, coastal activities, and outdoor plans, prompting travelers to stay informed by checking local weather forecasts and warnings.
As the weekend progresses, temperatures are expected to rise, with warmer air moving across much of Spain starting from October 12. Cities such as Badajoz, Córdoba, Huelva, Ourense, and Seville could again see temperatures surpassing 30°C, and Madrid might reach around 25°C. The return of warmer weather is anticipated to bring temperatures above seasonal averages, making parts of Spain feel more like late summer than autumn in the coming days.
