The driving weather across Spain for the upcoming period is set to be generally settled and warm, with high pressure dominating for much of the time. However, there will be some localised risks of rain and thunderstorms, particularly in the northern and eastern regions, which could impact road conditions. Drivers should remain vigilant for sudden changes in weather, especially on longer journeys, and be prepared for potential wet roads.

The weekend will see mostly fair conditions across Spain. On Friday and Saturday, a few scattered showers are possible, particularly in the north and along the Mediterranean coast. These could lead to slick road surfaces, so it is crucial for drivers to slow down and increase their braking distance. The risk of strong winds is low, but it’s always wise for high-sided vehicles to be mindful of gusts in open areas and for all drivers to take care when overtaking. By Sunday, the weather is expected to clear up, with sunny conditions prevailing for most of the country, making for excellent driving conditions.

The beginning of next week will continue with the fine weather from the weekend, offering generally good driving conditions. Temperatures will remain high, so ensure your vehicle’s air conditioning and cooling systems are in good working order, and remember to carry plenty of water for all passengers. By the middle of the week, there is an increased chance of thunderstorms forming, especially over inland and mountainous areas. These can bring heavy downpours, leading to poor visibility and the risk of localised flooding. If you encounter a thunderstorm while driving, slow down significantly and consider pulling over to a safe place if visibility becomes dangerously low. The end of the week will see a return to more settled conditions, though some residual showers might linger.

Next Weekend

Looking ahead to next weekend, the weather is forecast to be largely dry and sunny. High pressure is expected to reassert itself, providing pleasant and stable driving conditions across Spain. While there may be some cloud cover in parts, the risk of significant rainfall or high winds is low, allowing for a smooth and safe journey.
