ARCHIVED - Rain and cool temperatures forecast for All Saints Day in Spain
November 1 will be marked by wet, windy weather throughout Spain
While many areas in Spain such as Alicante and the Region of Murcia have experienced some isolated heavy rain in recent days, on the whole, the month of October has been a bit of an extension of the summer, with clear skies, calm waters and balmy temperatures. This is all set to change in the coming days, however, as the State Meteorological Agency, Aemet, has warned that a deep storm will land from the North Atlantic on Thursday October 28, bringing with it sheets of rain and a dramatic drop in temperature.
According to the experts, the active weather system will sweep across the north of Spain before gradually moving south over the next few days, meaning that the celebration of All Saints Day on November 1 could be a wash-out.
From Thursday, the arrival of temperate winds from the Caribbean Sea will bring an “atmospheric river of humidity” to all of Spain along with the rainfall, which may be strong and persistent in the north and west.
On Friday, the rains will spread to the east and will affect a large part of the northwest half of the peninsula. Much of the country will also experience cloudy skies and gusty winds as the week moves on.
The Todos los Santos holiday weekend is likely to be marked by instability, with south-easterly winds picking up on Saturday and widespread rain across the west and inland areas.
On Sunday, Spain will wave goodbye to October with generalised rains in the northwest and on Monday, the wind will pick up, leading to a drop in temperatures. The worst of the rain will be confined to the Cantabrian, Balearic, Catalonian and Pyrenees regions, where more than 200 litres per square metre can be expected in some areas.
