Galicia Turns Cloudy as AEMET Forecasts Rain and Isolated Storms

Regional AEMET updates show a rapid switch to widespread cloud cover with high chances of light rain and isolated storms across many Galician towns on Sunday, prompting changes to outdoor plans.

Overview

  • Local forecasts republished by Faro de Vigo using AEMET data show a clear, warm spell on Saturday, 22 August, gave way to mostly cloudy conditions on Sunday, 23 August.
  • AEMET-based pages for specific towns put precipitation odds very high for Sunday with Sanxenxo at 100% for light rain between 08:00–14:00 and Pontecesures at 95% for afternoon rain between 14:00–20:00.
  • Expected rainfall totals are generally small, commonly 0.1–5 mm, though some municipalities report brief heavier bursts and storm probabilities up to about 70% in the afternoon and evening windows.
  • Forecasters flagged localized gusty winds — for example Tui with rashes up to about 41 km/h — and advised practical precautions like carrying an umbrella and adjusting outdoor activities.
  • Separate AEMET updates published the same weekend show a different pattern elsewhere in Spain with Córdoba entering a cooler week and Argentine outlets reporting cool conditions on 22 August in parts of Argentina.
