You’ll likely need a light jacket even on sunny days, as it can often feel ‘boiling’ in the sun and ‘chilly’ in the shade. What will the weather be like in Spain in April 2025? Read on to find out all the juicy details.

April 2025 Spain weather forecast: A soggy shuffle
Spain’s taste of spring sunshine is about to be washed away, with April rolling in on a wave of wind, rain and rough seas, the national weather service has warned.
A short-lived spring fling
Monday marks the final day of March and much of Spain will enjoy blue skies and big temperature swings, with daytime highs warming up nicely before the country says “adiós” to the calm.
Cities like Leon and Soria will swing from a chilly 1°C in the morning to a balmy 21°C by afternoon. Teruel is expected to push it further, with temperatures stretching from 1°C all the way up to 24°C.
But don’t let that fool you – the calm skies won’t last.
Stormy skies and a sea of alerts
According to Spain’s official weather agency, AEMET, stormy weather is set to return this week, and four regions are already on alert.
Andalucia – The province of Cadiz is on yellow alert for heavy seas, with coastal conditions expected to get choppy.
Balearic Islands – Menorca also faces a warning for rough waters, with waves predicted to reach several metres.
Catalonia – Both Girona and Tarragona are under risk due to strong northerly and north-westerly winds between 50 and 70 km/h, which could kick up waves of 3 to 4 metres.
Canary Islands – On the Atlantic front, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, and Tenerife could be drenched with up to 15 litres per square metre of rainfall in just one hour.
AEMET’s message is clear: spring might have started with a smile, but Mother Nature is getting ready to throw a bit of a tantrum.
So if you’re heading out this week, don’t be fooled by the clear skies – it might be flip-flops at noon but waterproofs by tea time.
