Gran Canaria suspends all activities for this Sunday due to Storm Bruna, which will leave very strong rains and winds in the archipelago

Storm Bruna, located to the west of the Peninsula, will mark the weather in Spain this Sunday, with a day characterized by instability, intense rains and also strong gusts of wind.

According to Europa Press from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), the rainfall may be heavy and accompanied by storms in the west of the peninsula and specifically, in western Andalusia, where a yellow warning for rain has been decreed.

Extremadura, areas of the Montes de Toledo, the Cantabrian mountain range and the Central system could also receive episodes with significant accumulations, especially during the afternoon when the passage of the front is expected. Meanwhile, the rains in the Canary Islands are expected to reach very strong intensity.

Likewise, the arrival of a front associated with Bruna will cause a progressive increase in cloudiness on the Peninsula, where cloudy or overcast skies will predominate. The forecast anticipates that mists and fog banks will form during the first hours of the day in areas of the northern plateau, Alborán and the northern and eastern thirds of the peninsula.

On the contrary, rain will be unlikely in the eastern half of the peninsula, except for some isolated showers on the northeastern coasts. In the Balearic Islands, slightly cloudy skies will initially predominate, although they will tend to become cloudy at the end of the day, with the possibility of some light showers.

Canary Islands, facing the heaviest rains

The Canary Islands will be one of the territories most affected by the passage of the front, with cloudy or overcast skies and widespread rainfall that may be accompanied by storms. The Aemet warns that the showers may be strong and even very strong and persistent on the mountainous islands, where significant accumulations are expected. The wind from the south and southwest will also blow with strong intervals and probable very strong gusts.

Yesterday, the Gran Canaria Cabildo ordered the suspension from 12:00 p.m. today of all public or private activities that bring together people on the island, "regardless of their capacity" and both outdoors and in closed spaces, given the risk posed by Storm Bruna.

As for temperatures, the maximum temperatures will decrease in the western Canary Islands, while they will increase in the easternmost ones. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will reach 29 degrees and Santa Cruz de Tenerife will reach 28 degrees, both islands with 23 degrees minimum.

Wind gusts exceeding 90 kilometers per hour in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands

The wind will be another of the protagonists of the day. The forecast points to a predominance of the southern and eastern components, from light to moderate, in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, although strong intervals and very strong gusts are expected in different areas.

Specifically, these gusts may exceed 70-90 kilometers per hour in the Strait, the coasts of the Gulf of Cádiz, Galicia and the mountainous areas of the northern peninsula.

In Galicia and the northern mountains, the wind will gain intensity from the afternoon. Very strong gusts associated with the south and southwest wind are also expected in the Canary Islands, especially in the most exposed areas.

Minimum temperatures rise in much of the country

As for temperatures, thermometers will experience a rise in maximums in the northeast quadrant of the peninsula, the Galician and Cantabrian coasts and the easternmost Canary Islands. On the contrary, they will decrease in the rest of the Canary archipelago and in Andalusia, while they will remain without major changes in the rest of the country.

On Sunday, the expected 28 degrees in Seville and 26 in Badajoz will stand out. At the opposite extreme, Ávila, León and Salamanca will have maximum temperatures of 15 degrees, while Madrid will remain at 16 degrees.

The minimum temperatures will rise slightly to moderately in most of Spain, except in the east and southeast of the peninsula, where they will remain stable. Likewise, light frosts are expected in the Pyrenees. The lowest figures on the Peninsula are expected in Ávila, Salamanca and Soria, with 3 degrees of temperature.
