In Galicia Heavy rain and strong gusts of wind are expected on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Yellow weather warnings are in place for numerous areas of the north-western Spanish region. The Spanish weather service is also forecasting Aemet strong winds.
An overview of Aemet warnings, updated on Saturday at 11.41 am Spanish mainland time, lists up to 60 millimetres of rain in twelve hours for the inland area of the province of Pontevedra For the west of the province of A Coruña and several other areas of Galicia, it gives up to 40 millimetres in twelve hours. The rain warnings are in force on Sunday from midnight until 6 pm.
The overview also lists wind warnings: gusts of up to 80 kilometres per hour are possible in western A Coruña, and up to 70 kilometres per hour inland in Pontevedra. For A Mariña in the province of Lugo and the north-west of A Coruña, it forecasts gusts of up to 80 kilometres per hour between 2 am and 10 am on Sunday.
These figures are forecasts for the respective warning areas, not rainfall amounts or wind speeds already measured. They also do not mean that conditions will be the same everywhere within an area. The warnings may change as new forecasts are issued.
A separate marine forecast from the state weather service applies to Galicia’s coastal waters. It says that south-westerly winds may reach 50 to 61 kilometres per hour at times during the night into Sunday, west and north-west of A Coruña, around Bares and off A Mariña. The marine weather warning is in force until midday on Sunday. Aemet also forecasts showers in the coastal waters off Lugo, A Coruña and Pontevedra, especially from the night into Sunday.
The weather website Meteored reports that the rain is likely to intensify overnight with the arrival of a new Atlantic front The western half of Galicia is expected to be particularly affected. The website also expects strong winds in the early hours of Sunday.
For the period from midday Sunday to midday Monday, Aemet’s marine forecast does not expect conditions that would require a warning for Galicia’s coastal waters. This assessment concerns the sea and is not an all-clear for rain and wind on land. The latest advisories from the weather service and local authorities remain decisive.
