Ahead of the Easter holidays, extreme weather warnings have been issued for popular holiday hotspots in Spain. Storm Nelson has been named and Irish tourists are being warned to prepare for 'widespread rain' and a 'sharp drop in temperatures'.
With the Easter holidays just around the corner, Spain is one of the most popular destinations for Irish tourists seeking a break from routine.
The forecasters warned: “The Storm Nelson, recently named by AEMET, will give rise in the coming days to strong gusts of wind and rain in large areas of the territory in a period of great social relevance such as Semana Santa .” AEMET said today: “The influence of low Atlantic pressure and its fronts is expected on the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, with a predominance of cloudy skies and widespread rainfall, less likely on the southeastern coast. They are expected to be more abundant in the northern third, especially in the Pyrenees and western Galicia, where they can be locally strong or persistent. They may occasionally be accompanied by storms and hail.
“Moderate winds with a westerly component in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, with strong intervals in coastal and mountain areas, as well as in the interior of the eastern third of the peninsula. In the Canary Islands it will blow from the north, with strong intervals in the western islands.”
