Along these lines, he points out that it will continue to be over the weekendas explained by the spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), Ruben del Campowhich has specified in which points of the peninsula, in addition, it is expected that there will be precipitation.

“The weekend arrives with a Saturday in which temperatures will drop in the northeast of the peninsula,” said the expert. daytime temperature records “They may be between 5º and 10ºC below the normal average for these dates in points of the northern half”, has indicated Del Campo. To this situation, it is added that winds from the north will blow that will increase “over there”, says the meteorologist, the feeling of cold. “In the rest, the temperatures will not vary too much”.

As for rainfall, during the day on Saturday they are expected both in the Bay of Biscay and in the Pyrenees, as well as some showers in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.

weather on sunday

“On Sunday the situation will be similar”Del Campo begins to explain. As during the previous day, the cold air will continue in the upper layers of the atmosphere, a process that “It will favor the growth of clouds of evolution, with scattered showers over large areas of the peninsula”, says the expert. These will occur with greater probability in Andalusia, the eastern half of the peninsula and in the Balearic Islands. And, in addition, the rainfall will continue in the Bay of Biscay and in the Pyrenees, with snowfall at high levels of the mountain range.

The main difference that there will be on Sunday compared to Saturday is that a rise in temperatures is expected in the downtown area, as well as in the northeast of the peninsula. “The rise could be up to 4º or 5ºC compared to the previous day”, points out Del Campo, although the cold environment will remain in the north. “For example, Burgos will not exceed 13º on Sunday,” says the meteorologist. “Soria or Vitoria will stay at 15ºC”he adds, but Madrid can reach a maximum temperature of 23ºC and Ciudad Real or Toledo reach 25ºC.

And next week?

“Looking ahead to next week there is uncertainty in the forecast,” explains Del Campo. “It is likely that there will be a gradual rise in temperatures during the first days, which would bring the thermometers to values ​​that are more appropriate for this time,” says the expert. Therefore, it is expected that, little by little, this cold atmosphere will go away. And already, on Tuesday, it could be around 28º or 30ºC in the Guadalquivir and it could reach 25ºC in points of the southwest of the peninsula and also in areas of the northeast and south of Galicia.

Regarding rainfall, “during the first half of next week It is possible that an unstable environment will continue and that it will continue to rain in the Cantabrian Sea and the Pyrenees”says Del Campo. Likewise, they expect growth of clouds of diurnal evolution in large areas of the peninsula, as well as the possibility of showers accompanied by storms, “especially, once again, in the southern and eastern thirds of the peninsula, as well as in the Balearic Islands,” he points out. “But it cannot be ruled out that these showers also fall, more isolated, in other parts of the peninsular territory. And, as always, in this type of situation, some of the showers could be locally strong”, he concludes.
