The weather will be 'spring-like' this weekend, with sun and rising temperatures

The Spanish weather agency Aemet forecasts a spring-like weekend with increasing temperatures, but also warns of strong winds and some remaining precipitation in northern regions.

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has announced that the weather in Spain will stabilize this weekend after the passage of storm Pedro, which was the tenth storm of the year. The forecast indicates sunny and warm conditions across much of the country, marking a shift to a more spring-like weather pattern. However, there will still be some precipitation in the eastern Cantabrian region and the Pyrenees during the first half of the day, along with overcast skies lingering in the extreme northern areas until the afternoon.

This weekend, strong winds are expected, with gusts exceeding 70 kilometers per hour in regions like Bajo Ebro, the Pyrenees, and the Balearic Islands. Aemet has issued an orange alert in Girona due to the potential dangers posed by these winds, which indicates a significant risk level until 2 PM. Despite these warnings, the overall trend shows rising temperatures across most of Spain, which is anticipated to continue into next week, encouraging outdoor activities as the spring weather sets in.

The arrival of warmer temperatures and clear skies might lead to increased outdoor leisure activities for many Spaniards after what has been a turbulent winter characterized by consecutive storms. This shift towards milder conditions is likely to be welcomed by residents looking to take advantage of the more pleasant climate, even as precautionary measures are advised for those in wind-affected areas. With this change, the public is encouraged to remain informed through Aemet updates as they enjoy the changing weather.
