The deep storm Bruna, which is the second high-impact weather system of this 2026-2027 season, will influence the weather in many areas of Spain for several days with a storm of rain, wind and rough seas, especially in the west of the peninsula and in the Canary Islands. In the Archipelago, the Cabildo of Gran Canaria has ordered the suspension of all public or private activities that bring together people on the island starting at 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, "regardless of their capacity" and both outdoors and in closed spaces, given the risk posed by Storm Bruna.
"We are on the verge of an important change in weather brought about by the approach of the storm Bruna. It is a large low pressure system located in the Atlantic and that will cause heavy and persistent rains from Saturday accompanied by storms, intense winds and poor sea conditions in a large part of the peninsula and the Canary Islands," explains Rubén del Campo, spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), and reported by Servimedia.
Del Campo emphasizes that "the most adverse days will be Sunday, Monday and Tuesday." This storm will also affect Portugal. In fact, it has been named by the Portuguese Meteorological Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA). "It is the second named system this season after Dana Adam," recalled the Aemet spokesperson. Bruna will drive very humid winds, but also temperate ones, so that temperatures will rise and be high for the time of year.
The Aemet prediction indicates that the hottest capitals will be Las Palmas de Gran Canaria this Saturday (28 degrees) and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife on Sunday (28). In addition, this Sunday 27 degrees are expected in Seville, 26 in Badajoz and Huelva, and 25 in Almería and Granada. On the other hand, it will be cooler in Huesca and Pamplona this Saturday (13ºC), and Ávila and León on Sunday (15ºC).
Today, Storm Bruna is expected to begin to affect the Canary Islands, with very strong gusts of wind in the western islands and very heavy rainfall in La Palma, while on the peninsula rain is expected in most of the central north and northwest.
The Aemet has warned of rain and very strong gusts of wind (over 70 kilometers/hour) in the western Canary Islands, with possible very heavy rainfall at the end of the day in La Palma, Europa Press reports. On the peninsula, the day will be marked by the passage of a weakened front that will leave cloudy skies with precipitation, generally weak, in most of the central north and northwest of the peninsula, which may be more abundant and intense in Galicia. In the rest of the territory and the Balearic Islands, slightly cloudy skies will predominate, with the possibility of some weak and isolated rain in the southern third and the Balearic Islands.
Maximum temperatures will decrease in the northeast quadrant of the peninsula, with increases on the Atlantic and Cantabrian slopes. The minimum temperatures will rise in most of the peninsula, more markedly in the northwest quadrant.
It will blow moderate easterly in the Alborán and in the Strait, where some strong intervals are expected, with moderate wind on the Atlantic coasts of Galicia. Light wind in the rest of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands with moderate intervals on the coasts of the southern peninsula and the Cantabrian Sea.
SUNDAY
Del Campo stressed that "starting Sunday is when the episode associated with Storm Bruna will be more adverse."
That day it will rain in a good part of the west of the peninsula, with strong and persistent rainfall in the west of Galicia, Extremadura, western Andalusia, the Cantabrian Mountains and the surroundings of the Central System, that is, south of Castilla y León and north of the Community of Madrid. On the mountainous islands of the Canary Islands there will also be heavy and persistent rain accompanied by storms.
In the rest of the peninsula it is unlikely that it will rain, although it could do so on the coasts of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands in a scattered manner.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY
Temperatures will continue to rise on Monday with lows above 10 degrees and highs above 20 in many points. "Very mild environment for the time of year," summarizes Del Campo.
It will continue to rain in the same areas as on Sunday, that is, especially in the west of the peninsula, although the rainfall will extend to the rest of the peninsula, except for the eastern Cantabrian Sea and the southeast.
One more day, rainfall may be strong, persistent and accompanied by storms in the same areas as on Monday: western Galicia, Extremadura, western Andalusia, and areas of the Cantabrian Mountains and the Central System.
This situation, broadly speaking, will continue without too many changes during Tuesday. Rain is likely to continue on Wednesday and Thursday, especially in the west and south of the peninsula.
WIND AND BAD SEA
The winds during these days will blow with very strong gusts in areas of the Canary Islands and the west of the peninsula starting on Sunday. "It will, therefore, be a factor of adversity to take into account, as it may knock down branches and objects located in elevated areas. It will also cause poor sea conditions in the Atlantic," added Del Campo.
In addition, Del Campo commented that the abundant rains these days will be "persistent in the areas affected by the forest fires last summer, especially in the area around the Central System of Ávila and Madrid." "These areas will therefore be more vulnerable to rainfall," he adds.
"This abundant rainfall in areas of the western peninsula could cause flooding in low areas and also flooding of rivers, so it is highly recommended to be aware and informed of the weather and also follow the recommendations of Civil Protection," concludes Del Campo.
