AEMET forecasts rain from Saturday and falling temperatures along the Mediterranean coast

The weather is set to change from Saturday 17 October along the Mediterranean coast, with rain and falling temperatures. AEMET says the episode is most likely to begin in the second half of the day and links the unsettled conditions to a trough and the possible formation of a DANA to the north of the Iberian Peninsula.

AEMET’s municipal forecast for Xàbia points to an 80% chance of rain on Thursday 15, with temperatures ranging from 16 to 26 degrees. A break in the weather is expected on Friday: the chance of rain will be 5% during the first half of the day and 0% in the second, with temperatures of 15 to 26 degrees.

On Saturday, the chance of rain in Xàbia will reach 55% in the morning and 100% in the afternoon. For Sunday 18, AEMET forecasts a 100% chance of rain and temperatures of 14 to 22 degrees. The unsettled weather could continue at the start of the week: RTVE, citing AEMET data, gives a 90% chance of rain on Monday and 75% on Tuesday.

Protección Civil issued an alert on Wednesday 14 October based on AEMET forecasts for the Balearic Islands and the Mediterranean coast, and advised people to follow updates. The DANA’s position may affect which areas receive the heaviest rainfall.

For residents of Guardamar and the Vega Baja, the forecast points to a wet spell in the surrounding province, although the municipal data cited relate to Xàbia and should not be taken as a local forecast. AEMET also forecasts a general fall in temperatures, more marked on Sunday in the eastern half of the Iberian Peninsula.
