Parts of Andalucia face another wet weekend, but temperatures could reach 26ºC across the Mediterranean coast.
Rain expected in Malaga and Granada
Those this weekend in parts of southern Spain should keep their umbrellas handy, with rain forecast for Malaga and Granada provinces on Saturday November 14.
After several days of unsettled conditions caused by Storms Charles and Bruna, the latest predictions from Spain’s State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) suggest that conditions will gradually improve across much of the Mediterranean coast. However, Saturday could still bring some unwelcome showers to western Andalucia.
Malaga city faces a particularly unsettled Saturday afternoon, with showers possible and a maximum temperature of around 23ºC. Conditions are expected to improve considerably on Sunday, when cloudy skies are forecast but the likelihood of rain falls sharply.
Granada could have a wetter weekend. Saturday’s forecast points to widespread cloud and a high probability of rain, with temperatures reaching around 19C. Sunday should be better, although some showers cannot be ruled out, particularly in the surrounding areas.
Predicción para el resto de la semana:
Esta tarde y mañana viernes:
➡️Precipitaciones persistentes en Galicia, con acumulaciones importantes; en el resto del noroeste peninsular se esperan con menor acumulación y persistencia.
➡️Temporal marítimo en el Mediterráneo.[1/2] 🧵 https://t.co/4lWwY9sh9l

Sunshine returns to the eastern Costa del Sol and beyond
Further east, the outlook is considerably more encouraging. Almeria is expected to enjoy a largely pleasant weekend, with sunny spells and temperatures around 23ºC on Saturday and 22ºC on Sunday. Some cloud and isolated showers remain possible, but conditions should be considerably better than during the recent stormy spell.
Murcia is forecast to be one of the warmest areas covered by Euro Weekly News, with Saturday temperatures potentially reaching 26ºC. Sunday should also be warm, with a maximum around 25ºC and some intervals of cloud.
The Costa Blanca is also looking forward to a largely dry weekend. Alicante could reach around 25ºC on Saturday, with plenty of sunshine before slightly cloudier conditions arrive on Sunday. Valencia is expected to follow a similar pattern, with temperatures around 23 to 25ºC and little prospect of widespread rain.
Mallorca faces a mixed weekend
Mallorca’s forecast is less straightforward. Saturday should begin with mainly clear skies, although cloud is expected to increase later in the day. Isolated showers are possible overnight, with some potentially accompanied by thunderstorms.
Sunday could bring further scattered showers, although brighter intervals are also expected. Temperatures should stay relatively mild, with daytime highs around 22 to 23ºC.
The strong winds and dangerous coastal conditions associated with the recent storms should ease, but residents and visitors should check for any updated coastal warnings before heading to exposed beaches or promenades.
Check the latest AEMET weather warnings
Although the weekend outlook is improving across much of eastern and southern Spain, conditions can change quickly. AEMET’s national forecast points to further rain in north-western Spain, particularly Galicia, with another active weather system potentially bringing more precipitation on Sunday.
Residents across the EWN coverage area should check the latest AEMET weather warnings and seven-day municipal forecasts before making weekend plans.
After the recent disruption, many parts of the Mediterranean coast look set for a welcome return to more settled November weather.
