This Saturday, September 23, the equinox will occur, autumn will officially begin. At the equinox, the Sun is located at the closest point to the equator, and day and night are approximately the same length around the world..

After having experienced one of the hottest summers on record in Spain, with four heat waves included, autumn brings with it some relief with a logical drop in temperatures, although the forecasts indicate that we are not going to say goodbye completely. heat. The Aemet (State Meteorological Agency) already warned a week ago that “there is a high probability (greater than 60% in the Peninsula and 70% in the archipelagos) that the meteorological autumn will be warmer than normal”.

Now, other experts also agree that the fall of 2023 will be hotter than normal throughout Spain, and it will also rain even more than usual on these dates..

A warmer autumn

From the well-known website specialized in meteorology Eltiempo.es they assure that during this autumn it is very possible that temperatures will be “above normal throughout the country”, and especially in the eastern and northeastern areas of Spain: ” Eastern Cantabrian, Aragon, Navarra, La Rioja, Catalonia, Balearic Islands, Valencian Community and eastern Castilla y León”.

For the rest of mainland Spain and the Canary Islands, Eltiempo.es points out that during the months of October, November and December it will be “warmer than normal”, while in the aforementioned regions the weather will be “much warmer than normal”. normal”. According to the same source, these anomalous temperatures will also affect the sea water, which will also be warmer than normal on these dates..

A rainier autumn

Both Eltiempo.es and Aemet also point out that this autumn has a good chance of being rainier than other years.. The Aemet predicted that “there is a 50% probability that it will be rainier than normal”, while Eltiempo.es points out that in this sense the eastern half of the country and the eastern Canary Islands will be “within normal “, while the western half of the peninsula and the westernmost islands of the Canary Islands will encounter “slightly wetter than normal” weather.

They believe that the area most affected by this anomaly will be western Galicia, which they differentiate without the word “slightly” and directly indicating “wetter than normal.”
