Atmospheric stability will be the predominant note during this Easter week in most of Spain, as confirmed Ruben del Campospokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). Although much of the attention is focused on a thermal rise that could bring the thermometers up to 30 degrees In the south of the peninsula, the spokesperson has asked for special caution in the face of a phenomenon that will mark the holidays: the wind.
Meanwhile, precipitation will be restricted mainly to the extreme north of the peninsula, affecting the Cantabrian Sea, the Pyrenees and the Alto Ebro, where snowfall will also be recorded at mountain levels. In the middle of the week, a Mediterranean storm will increase the probability of showers in the Balearic Islands between Tuesday and Thursday, without ruling out rains in eastern Catalonia as well.
The wind will be a key factor to take into account. From the beginning of the week it will blow with intensity, with raxes that could reach up to 100 km/h in the Huesca Pyrenees and 90 km/h in pre-coastal areas of Tarragonto. In the Balearic Islands, especially in Menorca, adverse coastal phenomena are expected, with waves that could reach up to 12 meters. Also in the Empordà (Girona) strong waves are expected, with heights of up to 10 meters.
Given this situation, Del Campo has warned of possible risks, such as falling branches, trees or objects, which is why it recommends extreme caution, especially in areas exposed to the wind. In the Canary Islands, the week begins with the presence of haze and suspended dust, which will reduce visibility and worsen air quality, especially in the eastern islands and Gran Canaria.
As for the temperatures, a general rise is expected throughout the country. Frosts will be scarce and will be limited to mountain areas and some inland points. From the first days, cities such as Seville, Badajoz, Murcia or Castellón will reach temperatures around 22 ºC, while in the northern interior cooler values will remain, between 11 and 16 ºC.
