AEMET forecasts stable weather across Spain on Tuesday, 13 October, with highs up to 34 degrees

An anticyclone will bring mostly clear skies to most of mainland Spain on Tuesday, 13 October, according to AEMET. Cloud and weak, occasional rain are forecast for the Cantabrian region, the Balearic Islands and parts of the eastern coast.

Stable weather across mainland Spain

AEMET expects an anticyclone to bring a day of generalised stability to mainland Spain on Tuesday, 13 October, with mostly clear or slightly cloudy skies. Cloud cover with a chance of weak, occasional rain is forecast only for the Cantabrian region, the Balearic Islands and parts of the eastern coast of the peninsula. In the morning, low clouds will form over parts of the northern third of the peninsula and tend to clear, while cloud development is expected over the eastern and southeastern mountain ranges in the afternoon. Morning mist and fog banks are likely in the north, more persistent along the Galician coast, and locally in the Mediterranean. The Canary Islands will see cloudy or overcast skies with rain over the northern mountainous islands, heaviest on La Palma, and cloud intervals elsewhere.

Temperatures and wind

Maximum temperatures are forecast to rise slightly to moderately on the Atlantic side, in the Canary Islands and the eastern Pyrenees, with little change elsewhere apart from drops in the Strait, western Alborán and parts of the Cantabrian coast. The forecast highs for provincial capitals are 34 degrees in Seville, 33 in Córdoba and 32 in Badajoz. Local AEMET forecasts put Las Rozas de Madrid at 29 degrees maximum and 13 minimum, Albacete at 28 maximum and 13 minimum, and Salamanca at 28 degrees at 17:00 with a minimum around 10. On the Mediterranean coast, Alicante is forecast at around 28 degrees at 17:00 with a minimum near 19, Torrevieja at 27 degrees at 17:00, and Benidorm at about 26 degrees at 17:00 with a minimum near 21.
