AEMET, Spain’s weather agency, issued yellow warnings lasting for several hours on October 2 and covering areas in Galicia, Asturias and Leon, with potential accumulations of rainfall exceeding 15 mm in one hour and 40 mm in 12 hours.
As the day progresses, rain is set to hit Aragon and Catalonia, with further precipitation expected in northern Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha and the capital Madrid.
As the weather front reaches the Mediterranean, rainfall could resume, impacting the Balearic Islands and the north of the Valencian Community.
The intensity of the rains could increase upon reaching the Mediterranean, as a trough at higher altitudes could affect these regions. This trough could potentially give rise to a more intense storm that would impact the central Mediterranean.
By early Thursday morning, heavy rain could still be present in eastern Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. More sporadic and weaker rainfall could continue to reach the Atlantic side and central Spain.
However, this precipitation will gradually diminish. On Friday, there may still be some rain in parts of the Mediterranean.
The anticyclone – a large-scale circulation of winds – will once again position itself to the west of the peninsula, preventing the arrival of new fronts until the weekend.
While uncertainty remains high with so many days ahead, new fronts could reach Galicia by the weekend. Due to the additional humidity provided by the atmospheric river, localised rainfall could be abundant.
The areas most likely to experience significant accumulations include Galicia, Asturias or the northwest of Castilla y Leon, with between 40 and 60 mm expected.
