Heading into the weekend, Spain is set for a transition in its driving conditions. While many areas will remain dry and sunny, there is an increasing risk of showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the northern and western regions, which could impact travel.
Drivers should be prepared for variable conditions, with some areas experiencing clear skies and others facing wet roads and reduced visibility. The wind will be relatively light across most of the country, but as always, it is important to be aware of the potential for gusts in more exposed areas, especially for high-sided vehicles.
The Weekend
As we move into Friday, a mix of cloud and sun is expected, with some showers developing in the north and west. These will make for slick road surfaces, so please remember to slow down and increase your braking distance.
Saturday brings a higher chance of rain in these regions, which could lead to localised flooding on some roads. Take extra care on bends and when approaching junctions.
By Sunday, the weather becomes more unsettled, with light rain expected across a broader area, particularly in the morning. This could be particularly impactful as many people are travelling back from weekend trips. Slowing down and being aware of standing water will be crucial for road safety.
Next Week
Monday and Tuesday are expected to bring more settled conditions, with sunny skies and little chance of rain. This will provide a welcome break and should make for smooth driving.
By mid-week on Wednesday, the chance of showers increases again, although they are likely to be isolated. Drivers should be aware of the possibility of slippery roads and adjust their speed accordingly.
Towards the end of the week, conditions are expected to remain relatively stable, with a mix of sun and cloud and a low risk of precipitation.
Next Weekend
The forecast for next weekend is for more of the same, with a mix of sun and cloud, and a continuing low risk of showers. While this should make for relatively pleasant driving conditions, it is always wise to be prepared for the possibility of a sudden downpour, especially in the late afternoon.
