The miserable weather has no end in sight for much of Andalucia as yet another week of rain and wind beckons.
According to state weather agency Aemet, a powerful Atlantic storm will sweep into the region on Sunday evening, bringing heavy rain, thunder and strong gales.
Current forecasts show the majority of the region is expected to see rain every day next week, including Huelva, Sevilla, Cadiz and Malaga – even on the Costa del Sol.
Aemet says this is due to a series weather fronts expected to arrive over the following days, prolonging unsettled conditions.
Saturday is expected to act as a transition day, although weather warnings remain in place. Alerts for strong winds and rough seas continue along the coast of Almeria and Granada, while wind warnings also remain active in Jaen.
Rain is forecast to return on Sunday as a humid air mass moves in from the Atlantic.
A weather front is then expected to enter from the west and sweep across Andalucia throughout the day, with rainfall generally lighter in Almeria.
Temperatures are forecast to remain stable or rise slightly, with daytime highs averaging around 16C and night-time lows close to 10C. Winds along the coast are expected to be light to moderate.
The most significant deterioration in conditions is expected overnight from Sunday into Monday, when a deep low-pressure system moves in from the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula.
This storm is forecast to bring overcast skies and widespread rainfall across mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands and Andalucia.
While no official weather warnings have yet been issued for Monday in Andalucia, Aemet has indicated that alerts are likely to be activated in the coming hours.
Forecasts point to persistent cloud cover with moderate rainfall spreading from west to east, becoming locally heavy and prolonged in some areas.
Temperatures are expected to fall, while westerly winds will strengthen throughout the day, becoming moderate to strong, with very strong gusts possible during the first half of Monday.
Residents are being advised to stay alert to updates as the evolving forecast may lead to further warnings being issued at short notice.
