Multiple days of rain are forecast for Andalucia next week as successive Atlantic fronts are expected to sweep into the region from Monday.

Western areas are likely to receive the heaviest rainfall, particularly mountain ranges exposed to winds from the west and southwest, according to state weather agency Aemet and eltiempo.es.

The fronts are expected to lose strength as they move towards the Mediterranean, making rain less likely and generally lighter farther east and on the Costa del Sol.

Before then, Sunday should offer a brief respite, with light, scattered showers early on giving way to clearer skies during the afternoon.

In Sevilla, the forecast issued on Friday puts the chance of rain at 95% on Tuesday and 90% on Wednesday, before falling to 65% on Thursday.

Tuesday could also bring southwesterly winds with gusts reaching 50km/hr.

Temperatures are expected to remain mild despite the cloud and rain.

Sevilla’s forecast highs range from 21C on Monday to 22C on Tuesday, potentially reaching 27C on Wednesday.

Warm air arriving from the Atlantic should keep daytime temperatures above 20C across much of southern Spain, with parts of Almeria also potentially reaching 26C or 27C.

Cloud cover is expected to keep nights relatively mild, with minimum temperatures staying above 10C in many towns and cities.
