Costa News Spain Breaking News | English News in Spain.
Spain will have a brief break from its recent spring dry weather. A small low-pressure cut-off system will cause atmospheric instability, particularly in coastal regions. Showers will develop mostly on Saturday, before conditions improve again on Sunday.
Southern and Eastern destinations share a common pattern
Saturday will be mostly cloudy with occasional heavy showers. In bursts of up to 15 litres/hour, accumulations are expected in the afternoon. Calima or Saharan Dust in the Air will mix with precipitation and leave mud on surfaces such as vehicles, roads, and outdoor surfaces. The colour white will not be yours this weekend. Yellow warnings Several Andalucian provinces are being monitored for the possibility of heavy rainfall.

Due to persistent clouds, temperatures are expected to be between 18 and 22 Celsius during the day. This is several degrees lower than in previous days. Temperatures overnight will drop as low as 8-15 degrees Celsius, depending on the location and altitude.
On Sunday, there will be a noticeable improvement in all areas. All listed regions will see a decrease in cloud cover, and showers are expected to drop dramatically. Sunny intervals will increase throughout the day, allowing temperatures to moderately recover. Most places will see temperatures climb to 20-23 degrees Celsius. No strong gusts of wind are forecast. Winds will be light and variable.
The differences in conditions between areas
On Saturday, coastal areas such as the Costa Blanca and eastern Costa del Sol are expected to see less intense rain than zones inland. Malaga and Alicante will have scattered showers which will clear more quickly towards the evening. Granada is at a higher altitude and will experience the most heavy rains, possibly thunder, over its mountains. Almeria, Murcia and other areas of Spain are expected to experience similar weather conditions on Saturday. However, they will also benefit from a faster drying trend as the system moves east.
Mallorca faces the lowest overall impact From this DANA. The island will be covered in variable clouds with moderate showers, but only in the interior or northern parts. The coastal areas around Palma are mostly dry or only see light rain.
On Sunday, all regions will experience the same improvement. A drier air encourages outdoor activities and plans. After Saturday’s rainy phase, beach walks, sightseeing or mountain trips are more appealing.
Weekend planning: practical advice
The temperature will be noticeably cooler on Saturday due to the cloud cover and rain. Packing something waterproof is a good idea for anyone spending time outdoors. Washing your car on Sunday is a great idea because of the possibility of calima and mud rain on Saturday.
The short period of unrest affects the holiday experience mainly on Saturday along Spain’s east and south coasts. In these Mediterranean regions, Sunday brings more consistent dry weather for the typical spring activities. Trends for early next week point to a continuation of stability before any changes occur later.
