According to forecasts from the State Meteorological Agency, the last week of October will be marked by a series of Atlantic depressions bringing substantial rainfall to various areas of the Iberian Peninsula. In some cases, these storms could deliver as much as one hundred litres per square metre over just a few days. Meteorologists indicate that generalised rainfall is expected, especially from Tuesday onwards, with particularly intense and persistent showers likely in western and southern regions of Spain.
On Monday, heavy rainfall is anticipated in Andalucía, southern Extremadura, and parts of the Region of Murcia, where some areas may experience localised downpours. Yellow weather alerts have been issued in western Andalucía, alongside an orange warning on the Huelva coast for rainfall potentially exceeding fifty litres per square metre in a single day.
The arrival of a significant weather system from the Atlantic is expected on Tuesday, leading to widespread cloud cover and precipitation across the southwestern region of the peninsula. Showers will intensify in western Andalucía and Extremadura, where they could become persistent and stormy by the end of the day. Rainfall will also extend to other areas, including southern Galicia, western Castilla y León, the central region, west of the Community of Madrid, and western Castilla-La Mancha.
The forecasted instability will peak on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing rainfall across much of the country, albeit with uneven distribution and intensity. While lighter showers are expected in Cantabrian communities, the Levante, and the Balearic Islands, heavy rain and storms are predicted for Castilla y León, Extremadura, southern Galicia, and western Andalucía. While this spell of wet weather is set to continue into the weekend, predictions for the Mediterranean region and the Balearic Islands remain less certain, suggesting that rainfall there may be minimal or weak. Despite the need for umbrellas, meteorologists suggest that the mild and humid winds will prevent any significant drop in temperatures, with highs expected to reach around twenty-five degrees Celsius in cities like Seville and Córdoba.
