The week commences with persistent rainfall affecting northern Spain, particularly in Galicia, the eastern Cantabrian region, and the northern face of the Pyrenees. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued an orange weather warning for strong winds in Tarragona, where gusts could reach up to 90 kilometers per hour. These adverse weather conditions highlight the significant impact of seasonal changes in the region.

In contrast to the severity of this week's weather, Aemet's spokesman, Rubén del Campo, suggests that the following days will see a decrease in rainfall, largely due to the influence of an incoming anticyclone. While showers are still expected on Wednesday and Thursday in the northern and western parts of Spain, they are forecasted to be much lighter than in the previous weeks, indicating a gradual transition towards more stable weather conditions.

Overall, this weather pattern not only affects daily life and travel in the affected areas but also underscores the ongoing fluctuations associated with seasonal weather events in Spain. As the country prepares for both the challenges of heavy rains and the relief of quieter weather to come, local communities will remain vigilant about potential flooding and wind damage throughout the week.
