Although the holidays are still a week away, many Spaniards will begin their Easter holidays this Friday, April 8. And although the most important weather forecast is the one that corresponds to the days between Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday, the luckiest are also affected by the weather this week.
As we are two days away from the start of the first weekend of Easter, this week’s predictions are quite reliable. The same does not happen with the forecast for next week, still quite inaccurate, although it already allows the first predictions to be made.
Friday April 8
Starting this Wednesday the cold will leave us, leaving higher temperatures in the country. Thus, the maximum and minimum temperatures will increase in Mediterranean and Canary areas, according to data from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
However, the arrival of an Atlantic front from the northwest on Friday will cool the atmosphere in Galicia and the Bay of Biscay, with probable mist or fog.

Along with the rains, there will be a general drop in temperatures due to the arrival of the front. In the Canary Islands there will be rainfall on Monday, while the rest of the days it will only rain in the north of the islands with the greatest relief.
Thursday April 14
For the AEMET there is no clear forecast for the Peninsula or the Balearic Islands, while in the Canary Islands “the trade wind regime will continue, with the possibility of precipitation only in the north of the islands with the greatest relief.”
According to Mar Gómez, doctor in Physics and meteorologist at eltiempo.es, Holy Thursday will be “for the time being” a “calm day, with a predominance of sun, just like Good Friday.” “Trends show us that temperatures that week could be slightly above normal.”
