This week Malaga province welcomes warmer air as terral winds push temperatures above 25 degrees on Tuesday. Terral is when the warm air from inland Spain blows towards the coast, usually bringing dry air in and raising the temperature. Two local towns will rank among the warmest spots across the whole of Spain during this period. Records show 25.3 degrees in the city centre of Malaga, while Manilva is set to reach 25 degrees. Conditions will certainly feel spring-like after recent cloudy spells and scattered showers.

Warmth dominates through until Wednesday in much of Andalucia. Residents can enjoy pleasant daytime highs before the change arrives. Winds from the south-southeast are due to introduce clouds from Wednesday afternoon. Maximum temperatures will drop to around 20 degrees by Thursday. Clouds increase and bring a chance of showers later in the week.

Murcia faces yellow warning for heavy rain and storms

Storm activity affects parts of Murcia Monday night, with a yellow alert active until late afternoon. The Altiplano area will see possible rainfall up to 15 litres per square metre in an hour. Thunderstorms carry a 40 to 70 per cent probability. Weather reporters say that more intense bursts remain possible despite the alert level.

Skies feature cloudy intervals across the region during Tuesday morning with occasional light rain. Coastal areas clear somewhat in the afternoon, while inland zones develop convective clouds that may provoke showers and storms. Temperatures stay mostly stable on the coast but rise slightly inland. Forecasts point to highs between 22 and 26 degrees depending on the exact location. Light showers are predicted for Wednesday and patchy clouds for Tuesday, making the skies much more pleasing. Winds blow light from the west or southwest with moderate spells near the shore.

Costa Blanca Deals with showers on Monday before drier days

After some stormy weather at the start of the week, Alicante and the surrounding Costa Blanca should remain altogether much more pleasant throughout the week with patchy clouds and temperatures between 12 degrees at night and even up to 25° in areas in the day. There might be some light rain chances early Tuesday, but it will then dry up. Meanwhile, feel sorry for those more to the north in Valencia who have an unsettled week ahead with storms predicted.

Mallorca keeps unsettled pattern with occasional heavy bursts

A low-pressure trough system continues to influence Mallorca throughout the week. Rain chances stay present through at least Saturday. Tuesday features cloudy intervals and occasional showers, some locally heavy with thunder in the northeast. Morning mist appears in places. Daytime highs sit between 21 and 24 degrees.

Wednesday will see mostly light cloud with daytime heating possibly causing isolated showers. Similar conditions return on Thursday with light cloud cover, potential brief showers, and morning mist or fog patches. Temperatures will hold steady or dip slightly. Winds remain generally light from varying directions with coastal breezes.

Visitors and residents should prepare for variable weather

It’s spring in Spain, and visitors to these regions will benefit from checking updates regularly, as the weather at this time of year always proves changeable. Andalucia offers initial warmth ideal for beach visits before cooler air and rain arrive midweek. Murcia requires caution for localised heavy downpours early on. Costa Blanca mixes sunny intervals with shower risks, while Mallorca maintains higher shower probabilities overall.

Light winds and comfortable temperatures characterise much of the period despite the unsettled elements. Holidaymakers packing layers and waterproof items stay prepared for transitions between brighter and wetter phases.
