AEMET Warns of Late‑August Rain, Storms, Gusts and Rissaga Threats Across Spain

The agency says Atlantic fronts will drive regionally heavy showers, strong gusts and an orange rissaga alert for Menorca, with a shift to more stable, anticyclonic weather expected this weekend.

Overview

  • Spain's national weather service AEMET has issued multi‑region warnings for rain, thunderstorms, strong winds and heat alerts at the end of August, including an orange rissaga coastal alert for Menorca.
  • Town‑level forecasts republished by Faro de Vigo, based on AEMET data, show near‑100% morning precipitation probabilities and very high humidity across many Galician municipalities on 27–28 August.
  • Local forecasts for Galicia also flag elevated afternoon and evening thunderstorm chances and notable gusts, with examples including rashes up to about 41 km/h in O Rosal and 34–38 km/h in other towns.
  • Argentina's Servicio Meteorológico Nacional issued a yellow alert for Corrientes for 28 August forecasting 30–50 mm, strong gusts, possible hail and frequent lightning while Buenos Aires is forecast humid but without new rain.
  • Residents should expect wet, gusty conditions and possible travel disruption in affected areas and coastal risks from rissagas, and AEMET says a more stable, anticyclonic pattern should bring improvement by the weekend (29–30 August).
