The Easter 2026 is leaving an extreme weather scenario that will force you to change your wardrobe in record time.

After a start to the week with intense wind and precipitation, the atmosphere begins to stabilize thanks to the advance of a subtropical ridge. Meteored experts confirm that this rise will be especially notable in the south and the Guadalquivir valley.
This Tuesday, cities like Badajoz, Córdoba, Huelva, Murcia and Seville will already exceed 25 ºC, with values that will touch 30 ºC in areas of the Guadalquivir valley. In much of the country, temperatures will exceed 20ºC during the central hours of the day. However, at dawn the thermometers will drop below 10 ºC in much of the interior and some points on the coast.

In other areas under warning, gusts of 70-90 km/h are recorded, such as in the central system of Ávila and Segovia, the mountains of Madrid, Navarra, the banks of the Ebro in La Rioja and the province of Castellón. Furthermore, the Balearic Islands and Catalonia could experience waves of up to 11 meterswhile in Empordán waves of up to 10 meters are expected, which maintains the alert for coastal phenomena and wind in much of the country.
