According to the spokesperson from AEMET, there will be intermittent showers but locally it will be strong and hail, especially in the eastern and northeastern parts of the territory.

The snow level will drop to around 900 meters in the northwest and 1,000 to 1,400 meters in the rest. Therefore, snowfall could occur not only in mountain areas but also in some locations. As for the Canary Islands, rains are likely in the northern part of the islands, and temperatures will not vary significantly compared to previous months.

Elsewhere, there will be cloudy intervals, but no precipitation. Additionally, the snow level will remain between 1,000 and 1,400 meters. And daytime temperatures will not experience significant changes. In the Canary Islands, some showers will be recorded in the northern part of the archipelago.

In this way, cities like Alicante, Murcia, Seville, or Valencia will reach around 25°C, while Burgos, Segovia, or Pamplona will hover around 14°C max. Meanwhile, no rain is expected in the Canary Islands, and temperatures will slightly increase.

Although the uncertainty is high for Good Friday, the approach of a new storm would lead to rain in the north, west, and central parts of the peninsular territory. According to the AEMET spokesperson, this precipitation could be abundant in Galicia, the far north, and south of Castilla y León.

In any case, it is likely that the Mediterranean communities will be spared from the rain. On this day, temperatures will continue to rise, and frost will only occur in high mountain areas. After that, temperatures are expected to exceed 25°C in the Mediterranean communities.

Initially, the rains on Saturday would be more widespread. Del Campo has specified that showers could occur in large areas of the peninsular territory, while on Sunday, the highest chances of rainbows will be in the north, east, and the Balearic Islands. The AEMET spokesperson specified that there is still no clear trend on rainfall for these two days.

As temperature descends at the beginning of the week and it will be colder than normal for this time of year until Thursday. Therefore, there will be frost in some points of the northern plateau and snowfall at low levels.

During the days, scattered storms may affect large areas of the territory, according to Del Campo. The most intense are expected to fall in Navarra, Aragon, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands, where they will be accompanied by intense thunderstorms. In turn, there will be heavy rain on the coast of Galicia, in this case, due to the arrival of a front.

In this context, the snow level will drop from 1,800 meters to 1,200 meters by the end of the day and, while in the Canary Islands, weak rains will be recorded in the northern relief islands, after a very rainy weekend in the archipelago, which suffered the impact of «storm olivier».

However, in the Cantabrian region, temperatures will increase significantly.

The thermal drop will extend on Tuesday to most of the country, especially in daytime values. Some cities in Castilla y León will already see frost, Such as Ávila or Burgos. On this day, a cold front will cross the western peninsula towards the east, leaving rain in its path. After that, the cold air will reach, especially in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which will create unstable weather, favoring the formation of numerous storms.

Del Campo advanced that Wednesday’s dawn will be accompanied by Frost in the northern and central areas of the peninsula. For example, Ávila, Soria, Burgos, Palencia, or Valladolid will rise with zero degrees or values below zero. Meanwhile, there will be showers in Galicia, Cantabrian, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands. To a lesser extent, they may also appear in Castilla y León and in mountainous areas of the peninsula.

Maundy Thursday is very likely to unfold, albeit with much uncertainty, indicating a general decrease in instability and a temperature recovery. However, there is still a chance of rain in the northern third of the peninsula. The situation for the «big» days of Holy Week will be more uncertain, although forecasts will be updated as they approach.

Umbrellas, delays, and covered virgins became a common sight upon the arrival of these holidays. At this time, rain is normal, as Laplana explains: «Spring is very unstable. However, it is also true that, given that Holy Week does not have fixed dates, it is never exactly the same date, so exact statistics cannot be made.

The meteorologist details that this time of year is quite unstable and changing, especially in terms of temperature, «Which can rise and fall. We are within the norm.»

After the stroke of Borascas, Laplana emphasizes that this year we are in a situation similar to that of last year. «There were not more storms, but very frequent» he concludes, which could be influenced, although in the absence of future attribution studies, by Climate changes.
