There will also be rainfall in the north of Galicia, the Cantabrian area, the upper Ebro and the Pyrenees, which will be heavy in mountainous areas. Occasional showers and rain showers are likely in the rest of the eastern half of the peninsula, Melilla and southern Galicia, easing in the west. They will generally tend to cease by the end of the day, except for the Balearic Islands and the far north. I

Maximum temperatures will drop in the northern and eastern halves of the Iberian Peninsula and in both archipelagos, notably in the eastern third south of the Ebro. Minimum temperatures will rise in the extreme north-east of the peninsula, but will tend to fall in the rest of the peninsula, with weak frosts in the mountains of the south-east and the northern plateau and more intense in the mountains of the centre and north-west of the peninsula.
Predominantly northerly winds, being strong or with strong intervals from the northeast and north in the Canary Islands, Empordà, Balearic Islands and Valencia; from the northwest in the Ebro valley, the Cantabrian coast, areas of the southern plateau and southeast mountains, and from the west in the Strait and Alboran. In general, except in the eastern Mediterranean area and the Canary Islands, they will tend to decrease in the second half of the day.
