Spanish Driving Weather: A Mixed Bag Ahead From the First Busy Weekend

Get ready for varied driving conditions! Friday offers widespread sunshine and light winds for excellent road trips. Saturday remains largely dry, though clouds increase north and west. Be prepared for isolated, potentially heavy showers on Sunday, especially in northern and central areas, which could affect visibility and road grip. Drive safely and stay updated!

The Weekend

As we move into Saturday, the weather remains largely cooperative for motorists. While there might be a few more clouds drifting in, especially over the northern and western parts of the country, most areas will continue to experience dry driving weather. Temperatures will stay warm, so ensure your vehicle’s air conditioning is functioning well if you’re planning longer journeys.

Sunday will see a subtle shift in the weather pattern. While the morning may start off fine for many, there’s an increasing chance of isolated showers developing, particularly in the northern and central areas of Spain. These showers could be heavy in places, leading to reduced visibility and potentially slippery road surfaces. Drivers should be prepared for sudden changes in conditions and adjust their speed accordingly.

Next Week

The start of next week will see a continuation of the unsettled theme from Sunday. We can expect showers to be more widespread, especially across the northern half of Spain. There’s also a risk of thunderstorms, which can bring sudden downpours, localised flooding, and gusty winds, all of which pose a significant risk to driving safety. Drivers should be particularly cautious in these areas, maintaining a greater distance from the vehicle in front and using dipped headlights when visibility is reduced.
