In Spain, the new storm Nils is anticipated to bring substantial rainfall, strong winds, and rough seas to the mainland and the Balearic Islands in the upcoming days. The spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), Rubén del Campo, informed the public that this weather pattern indicates a notable shift, with the 'anti-cyclone' expected to gain prominence by Saturday for the first time in a long while. While the rain will be widespread and heavy particularly on Friday, this seems to signal the beginning of a transition towards drier weather.

Friday will be marked by widespread and abundant rain across the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands, which will precede clearer weather as the weekend approaches. Del Campo has indicated that while cooler temperatures are expected over the weekend, the amount of precipitation will significantly decrease, particularly on Sunday when the anti-cyclone is expected to clear skies. However, mornings in the Balearic Islands will likely remain cloudy with some residual rainfall, indicating that the transition to improved weather may not be immediate.

This change in weather patterns comes after an extensive period of heavy rainfall that has affected various regions of Spain, creating challenges for residents. The forecast indicates a positive trend toward stabilizing conditions, but the lingering effects of the rain may still be felt, emphasizing the importance of keeping the public informed about changing weather conditions as Spain heads into a transitional weekend.
