Spain weekly weather forecast October 21-24
Heavy rain is expected in the east, with unstable conditions in the Mediterranean and a cooling trend in the north
This week’s weather forecast for Spain brings a mix of conditions across the country. While the northwest will experience cloudy skies and rainfall, particularly in Galicia, much of the Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands will see instability, with the possibility of heavy showers.
Temperatures will drop in the northern and eastern regions, while the southern plateau will enjoy mild weather. The Canary Islands, in contrast, can expect relatively calm and stable conditions.
Strong winds are forecast along the Galician and Mediterranean coasts, with unsettled weather persisting in several regions as an Atlantic front moves in later in the week.

Spain weather forecast, Monday October 21
A front will cross the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula and the Cantabrian Sea, bringing cloudy or overcast skies with rain, particularly heavy in the west of Galicia. This rain will also affect the western Pyrenees and northern Iberia by the evening. An unstable weather pattern will prevail in the Balearic Islands, with intervals of cloud and showers, which may also spread to the Catalan and Valencian coasts later in the day.
In the Canary Islands, expect mostly cloudy skies with some low cloud over the northern mountainous islands. The rest of Spain will see mainly dry, anticyclonic weather, with morning low cloud or fog in both plateaus.
Temperatures will drop in the extreme northwest, along the Mediterranean coast, and in the Canary midlands, while rising slightly in the southern plateau and remaining stable elsewhere.
Winds will be southerly and south-westerly in the northwest, with strong gusts along the Galician coast, shifting to northerly. In the Mediterranean, easterly winds will prevail, especially in the Strait of Gibraltar, with light breezes across the rest of the peninsula.
