The week ahead in the news from the UK and Spain, plus driving in Spain, and the road traffic forecast.

A busy early-autumn agenda led by Spain, with corporate results and a grand-tour finale, while the UK weighs key debates and data, Europe focuses on policy signals, and the rest of the world delivers headline political and cultural moments.

This week marks a significant shift in Spain's road traffic dynamics as the "back-to-school" period begins. Expect increased congestion on urban and commuter routes, especially during morning and afternoon peak hours. 

This week's driving weather across Spain will be a mixed bag, with drivers facing wet roads and a risk of flash flooding at the start of the week, followed by a transition to sunny and warm conditions with a heightened risk of wildfires. Be prepared for changing driving conditions throughout the week.
