ARCHIVED - Widespread rain and storms across Spain: weather outlook March 21-25
Eleven provinces in Spain have been put on alert due to gusts, heavy rain and treacherous sea conditions
Although spring has officially begun in Spain the sunshine and warm weather are yet to make an appearance, with the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) warning that yet another Atlantic front will make its way across the country from Sunday March 20, bringing heavy rain and storms for the entire week.
The week will be dominated by “widespread rains” which will be most persistent in the Valencian Community the southwest of the country. According to Aemet spokesperson Rubén Del Campo, the trend of the first fortnight of March is set to be repeated, when in “all of Spain it has rained twice or three times more than normal” thanks to the arrival of storm Celia, with banks of Saharan dust that turned the sky, and indeed the streets, orange.

On Monday March 21 a general drop in temperature is expected across the country and in the Valencian Community has been out on orange alert for the duration of the day, with a significant risk of heavy downpours. Occasional storms are also forecast in areas of western Andalucía and southern Catalonia, with 11 provinces in total on alert.
Several regions remain on yellow alert for wind and rain on Tuesday March 22, although in general the downpours will be less frequent and intense than the day before.
But according to Aemet, the real change will be felt mid-week, when the arrival of a new storm is forecast to bring rain to the entire country, which will persist at least until Friday March 25.
Although there are no weather warnings currently in place towards the end of the week, Aemet predicts that it will be the beginning of next month before the expected clear skies and warning temperatures of spring will make an appearance in Spain.
