After a week of rain that has spoiled the end of Christmas in many regions, the rain is preparing to give no respite in some territories of Spain. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has confirmed the arrival of a new storm in our country, a atlantic storm what will bring widespread showers to the Peninsula, strong wind and waves starting this Wednesday.
Instability will once again be the protagonist of these first days of returning to normality after the holiday period, with several rain fronts approaching Spain in the next few days. While the first of these is expected to approach our borders in the next few hours, over the weekend we will have more rain and cold by the arrival of another front from the northwest.
The rains that fall throughout the morning in some areas of our country are due to the passage of a front associated with the Floriane storm.
