Despite this, and based on the main meteorological models, there are already some forecasts on the table that will help you to know if sunglasses or umbrellas will be needed more.

From meteoredits meteorologist Samuel Biener explains that Holy Week could start with above-average thermometers for this time of year.

According to his forecast, Palm Sunday could arrive with temperatures between 1 and 3 °C higher than normal in much of Castilla-La Mancha, south of Madrid, north of Andalusia, southeast of Extremadura, and occasionally in the Ebro valley.

In the rest of the eastern half and in the south, values ​​of 0 to 1 °C higher than the mean are expected for now. Also in the Canary Islands. “In the Balearic Islands, the Northern Plateau and the extreme north, there are no significant thermal anomalies for the first days of April,” says Biener.

According to the ECMWF model, the second part of Holy Week, or what is the same, on holidays, rainfall could sweep the peninsula: they are expected rainier than normal days in Andalusia, south of Castilla-La Mancha, northwest of the peninsula and in points of the North Plateau.

It should not be forgotten that the month of April is usually unstable and variable.

From the web storm chaser point out that the forecast that can be made one month ahead is the “analysis of a general trend of the atmosphere for that week”, also taking the ECMWF model as a reference, which originates from the European Meteorological Center and is the data model more accurate and complete

Thus, they would predict negative pressure anomalies on the surface and in the upper levels of the atmosphere around Spain, with high pressures centered well to the north of the European continent or in the area of ​​Greenland and the United Kingdom. But the other reference model, the NOAA CFS also indicates a similar pattern.

Holy Week at the beginning of April is usually humid and cool

And pulling statistics, the sun usually has few ballots: Holy Week from April 2 to 9 has only been anticyclonic on 7 occasions in the last 20 years. In the other 13, there has been instability and precipitation.

There is more chance that you will experience rain if you are in the north of the peninsula: in April there is an average of 15 days of rain, with values ​​that reach 200 l/m2 in the Cantabrian. In the Iberian System and the Ebro Valley, April is among the wettest months of the year. On the other hand, the averages for the southeast are much lower: it rains 5 days on average in April, and the data is 30 l/m2.
