A new Atlantic front will leave cloudy skies in the extreme northwest of the mainland on Wednesday, with a low probability of rainfall in the northwest of Galicia, although they will be somewhat more likely around Fisterra.

In the rest of the mainland and the Balearic archipelago, slightly cloudy skies with high clouds will predominate, with intervals of low morning clouds in the Mediterranean area, the Ebro, and the northeast of the Northern plateau.

In the Canary Islands, cloudy intervals are likely in the north and slightly cloudy in the south, without ruling out some weak and scattered rain on the island of La Palma.

Western Galicia will experience cloudy skies, and weak rainfall is not ruled out, somewhat more likely in the Fisterra area.

The Canary Islands can expect cloudy skies in the north and slightly cloudy or with some cloudy intervals in the south. There is a low probability of weak and scattered rainfall on the western islands.

Temperatures will tend to decrease in the north of Castilla y León, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Rioja and Navarra, as well as in the Canary archipelago.

Values will tend to increase in the rest of the mainland and in the Balearic Islands, with Sevilla reaching 35ºC. Minimum temperatures will be more pronounced in Galicia as will the maximums in the southwest. No big changes are expected in the rest of the country.

There could be probable morning mists or fog banks scattered in Galicia and, with low probability, in the Mediterranean area, along with haze in the easternmost islands of the Canary Islands.

Maximum temperatures will decrease slightly in the Cantabrian area and will tend to increase in the rest of the mainland and in the archipelagos, more markedly in the western half of the peninsula.

Dry weather will continue in most of the territory for the next few days of October although the experts do not rule out the return of the rain to the Cantabrian area on Monday 2, which could spread to the Pyrenean area and northern Catalonia.

Temperatures will begin to drop generally in the mainland and the Balearic Islands, although they will again remain above the normal values.
