A Atlantic front is expected to Galicia bring persistent rain and strong gusts on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Precipitation could be locally heavy, particularly in the west of the north-western Spanish region. Yellow weather warnings are in force for numerous areas.
The state meteorological agency Aemet also expects strong winds along parts of the Galician coast. Its marine forecast covers the period from Saturday at 12 noon to Sunday at 12 noon. For the night into Sunday, it gives temporary south-westerly winds of 50 to 61 kilometres per hour off the west and north-west of A Coruña and off Bares and at sea off A Mariña in the province of Lugo.
According to the weather portal Meteored the rain is expected to intensify as the front arrives during the night into Sunday. The whole region would be affected, with the western half seeing the heaviest rain. According to the forecast, the front is linked to a low-pressure system west of the British Isles.
A summary by the portal based on Aemet data Climaviso shows yellow warnings for eleven of Galicia’s 16 warning areas on Sunday. In western A Coruña, it gives rainfall of up to 40 litres per square metre in 12 hours and gusts of up to 80 kilometres per hour between midnight and 18:00. The summary was updated on Saturday at 11:41.
For inland areas of Pontevedra Climaviso lists up to 60 litres per square metre in 12 hours and gusts of up to 70 kilometres per hour. In A Mariña and the north-west of A Coruña, the summary gives gusts of up to 80 kilometres per hour between 02:00 and 10:00. These figures are warning thresholds or forecast values, not rainfall amounts or wind speeds already measured.
Aemet also expects showers and increasingly rough seas along the Galician coast. The wind speeds in the marine forecast refer to coastal waters and should not be equated with the expected peak gusts on land.
The weather could remain unsettled after Sunday. In its weekly forecast published on Friday, Aemet expects further Atlantic fronts and very heavy rainfall in Galicia between 16 and 22 November. However, such longer-range outlooks are less certain for individual places and times than short-term forecasts. Warnings may be updated.
