Spain to Bask in 'Summer-Like' 30°C Sunshine Until Easter Monday — Here's Where to Hit the Beach

Blue Skies for Semana Santa

Spain's long winter is set to finally wave goodbye as the Easter weekend greets swathes of the country with sunshine and unseasonable warmth.

According to state weather agency AEMET, temperatures are set to climb towards 30°C in parts of Andalucía and the south by Easter Monday, bringing a much-needed blaze of heat after a miserable few months.

The high winds that have blown across the Iberian Peninsula this week are set to peter out, making way for a warm front that will ensure this year's Semana Santa celebrations are conducted under blue skies.

Where to Head This Weekend

For Brits holidaying over the Easter break — or residents with a few days off work — this is ideal beach weather, particularly on the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca.

Temperatures will be highest in inland areas, especially around:

• The Guadalquivir valley
• Córdoba and Sevilla
• Further north in Badajoz

High temperatures will also be enjoyed on the eastern coast, the Balearic Islands and swathes of Spain's northern seaboard — so make sure to stock up on sunscreen and dust off your shades.

Ahead of Schedule

The early taste of summer is arriving ahead of schedule this year, with such high temperatures typically not seen until well into May. A mass of warm air is settling over Spain between Friday and Saturday, pushing temperatures well above the seasonal average.

Don't Get Too Comfortable

However, the sunshine is not set to last long. AEMET is forecasting a significant drop in temperatures as early as next Tuesday. The current mass of warm air covering Europe will be pushed away by strong westerly winds, replaced by a colder front that could coincide with the arrival of a DANA storm.

So enjoy the Easter sunshine while it lasts — but keep an eye on the forecast for midweek.
