Between May 13 and May 15, the country could be hit by “possible showers with strong thunderstorms and hail in large areas of the central and eastern peninsula and Majorca,” a spokesperson added.

A Status Orange storm warning has been issued for large swathes of the country, with thunderstorms predicted in the northern regions, including Barcelona and Madrid.

Popular hotspots across Catalonia, Andalusia, Castile and Valencia have been hit with storm alerts throughout Thursday afternoon and Friday. AEMET, the state weather agency, has warned that there is a possibility that the conditions will be “accompanied by hail”.

The forecaster wrote: “Thursday marked by storms. Attention, they will be strong in areas of Galicia and the centre and east of the Peninsula. They may be accompanied by hail.

“In parts of the interior of the Valencian Community, they could be very strong, and the alert is orange (significant danger).”

According to Samuel Biener, Meteored weather expert, in this first part of the week daytime temperatures will be below average for the season in most of Spain.

This is “due to the fact that between the position of the anticyclone, a low that will form in the Mediterranean and the depressions at high altitude we will be under the influence of polar air masses. Between Friday and Saturday, the weather will normalise, awaiting a possible new change in the weather”, he said.
