ARCHIVED - Winter is coming: Spain weather update November 2
Temperatures will plummet and widespread rainfall is expected throughout Spain on Tuesday
There has been a notable change in the weather in Spain over the last few days and according to State Meteorological Agency, Aemet, Tuesday November 2 may just be the day to unpack the winter woollies as a cold front is set to sweep across the country.
A yellow weather warning has been activated on the coasts of Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the entire province of Granada due to strong winds. In addition, the southern half of the country will register a severe drop in temperatures.
The dicey weather conditions are caused by a new Atlantic front passing over Spain on Tuesday morning, bringing with it increased cloudiness and rainfall, with Galicia and Cantabria expected to experience the brunt.
As the day goes on, however, the rain will extend to the southeast and other parts of the country, with the most extensive rainfall hitting the mountainous regions.
On top of the rain and wind, the first relatively heavy snowfall could hit the Pyrenees, with daytime temperatures in the southeast of Spain forecast to plummet. On Tuesday, westerly winds will affect much of the country and the Balearic Islands, with strong gusts particularly expected along coastal areas.
The drop in temperatures comes after days of heavy rainfall which plagued much of the country over the All Saints long weekend. The cities of Madrid, Cáceres and Ciudad Real all broke their own records for the most rain in one day, while during the four day holiday, Alicante, Granada and Murcia all registered more rain than is usually seen throughout the year.
