ARCHIVED - Onion days return to Spain this autumn
The fall season in Spain is characterised by cold mornings giving way to warmer afternoons
As Spain settles into autumn after a scorching summer, there is a noticeable drop in the temperatures which will gradually begin to increase the chances of rain, storms and windy weather.
For now, though, the country is still basking in the balmy lull before the onset of winter, a temporary weather condition creatively described as “onion days” by spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), Ruben del Campo.
On his Twitter account, Mr del Campo explained that these autumnal days are characterised by cooler temperatures in the early morning, leading onto warmer afternoons, with a difference of more than 20 degrees in some areas.
His jaunty term was coined by the fact that, at this time of year, people can leave the house in the cold mornings wrapped up in several layers – like an onion – only to shed clothes as the day goes on.
Vuelven los #DíasDeLaCebolla: ambiente fresco de madrugada y templado por la tarde (más de 20 ºC de diferencia en algunas zonas).

Tendremos que salir de casa con varias capas de ropa (como las cebollas) de las que poco a poco nos iremos desprendiendo.
