This Good Friday<\/strong> in Spain is one of the big days of this Holy Week<\/strong> , which commemorates the agony and death of Christ on the cross. This day is usually marked by the traditional<\/strong> processions, although many of them could be in danger this 2025 due to the arrival of a new storm<\/strong> to the Spanish mainland, according to the state meteorological agency (Aemet)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In its forecast for the next few days, Aemet warns that, in the coming hours, there will be \u00aba further increase in instability\u00bb<\/strong> with the arrival of a new rain front<\/strong> to the country. A situation that will persist at least until next Easter Sunday and even Easter Monday, leaving a fairly wet weekend in most of the country.<\/p>\n

What will also change will be the temperatures this week. After the arrival of a cold air mass<\/strong> a few days ago, the almost wintry<\/strong> values of the last few days will give way again to a spring-like<\/strong> atmosphere in most of Spain, especially in the south. However, from Saturday onwards, thermometers are expected to drop again, leaving highs that will be around 10 degrees<\/strong> lower.<\/p>\n

An Atlantic front arrives in Spain<\/p>\n

The arrival of a new Atlantic front to Spain<\/strong>, which will enter Galicia this Good Friday, will allow precipitation to spread again after a few hours of truce<\/strong>. Although no rain is expected in the early hours of the day, showers will start to arrive in areas of the Atlantic side of the Spanish mainland as the day progresses.<\/p>\n

During the day, the heaviest rain will be seen in Galicia, Asturias and Castilla y Le\u00f3n<\/strong>. There will also be showers in Extremadura, Andalusia, Castile-La Mancha, Madrid, La Rioja, Navarre and Aragon. Only the Mediterranean, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands will be spared from this rainy day.<\/p>\n

As for temperatures, everything points to them rising with respect to previous days and only in the northwest could they fall, warns Aemet.<\/p>\n

Rollercoaster temperatures: cold weather returns from Holy Saturday onwards<\/p>\n

Holy Saturday<\/strong> will continue to be an unstable day in Spain, where the incoming storm will leave locally heavy showers<\/strong> accompanied by thunderstorms<\/strong> in the north of the country, especially in Catalonia and Pyrenees<\/strong>. During the day, the rains will expand further and could even reach the Mediterranean and Balearic<\/strong> areas. It will continue to rain heavily in Galicia, Asturias and partsof Castilla y Le\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Friday’s spring-like atmosphere will be short-lived: this Saturday will see a widespread drop in temperatures<\/strong> again, bringing the cold back to Spain. According to the Aemet forecast, snow levels<\/strong> are expected to drop below 1,200 metres, which could allow us to see snowfall in some Spanish mountain ranges.<\/p>\n

Rain continues on Easter Sunday<\/p>\n

The storm will continue to make its mark on Easter Sunday<\/strong>, which will continue to be marked by this rainy<\/strong> outlook, especially in the northwest of the country. According to Aemet, rainfall \u00abwill continue to be more likely and more frequent on the Atlantic and Cantabrian<\/strong> slopes\u00ab, while it will be \u00bbless likely on the Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands\u00ab.<\/p>\n

In the western half of spain, temperatures are expected to rise, although we could still see some snowfall above 1,400-1,600 metres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From Easter Monday<\/strong> onwards, the atmosphere could become calmer, but occasional showers<\/strong> will continue. Only in the furthest north could there be snowfall in the mountains.<\/p>\n
