The weather across Spain for the upcoming week will be largely settled for the start, transitioning to more unstable conditions with scattered showers towards the end of the week, while the weekend looks like it will continue this unsettled theme.

Monday, 26 May 2025 – Sunny
For drivers today, much of Spain can expect largely sunny and pleasant conditions. Visibility on the roads will be good. Temperatures will be warm to mild across the country, so staying hydrated on longer journeys is advisable. There’s a low risk of any significant driving hazards, though sun glare could be an issue in the brightest periods.
Tuesday, 27 May 2025 – Warm
Tuesday will see a continuation of fine and warm weather across most of Spain. Driving conditions are expected to be very good with clear skies for the most part. Temperatures will remain on the mild to warm side. As with Monday, the primary consideration for drivers will be strong sunshine, so sunglasses are recommended, especially for eastward or westward journeys.
Wednesday, 28 May 2025 – Settled
Midweek, Wednesday maintains the generally settled conditions across Spain. Drivers can anticipate another day of predominantly dry weather with plenty of sunshine. Visibility will be good. While temperatures will remain comfortable, there’s a very slight chance of isolated, light showers developing in mountainous inland areas during the afternoon, but these are unlikely to cause significant disruption to main roads.
Thursday, 29 May 2025 – Showery
By Thursday, a change in the weather pattern is expected across Spain. Drivers should be prepared for an increased risk of showers, particularly in the northern, central, and possibly some eastern regions. These showers could lead to reduced visibility and slippery road surfaces. It’s advisable to slow down and maintain a greater distance from the vehicle in front. The far south and Mediterranean coast might remain drier for longer.
Friday, 30 May 2025 – Unsettled
Friday looks set to be an unsettled day for many drivers across Spain. Expect widespread showers, possibly heavy in places, particularly across the north and centre. This will significantly impact driving conditions with reduced visibility and a higher risk of aquaplaning. Drivers should exercise extreme caution, use dipped headlights, and be prepared for variable road surfaces. The south may still see some drier spells, but the overall trend is towards more changeable weather.
The Weekend
Saturday, 31 May 2025 – Showery
The weekend begins with a continued risk of showers across many parts of Spain. Drivers should anticipate reduced visibility and potentially slippery roads, particularly in the north and centre.
Sunday, 1 June 2025 – Unsettled
Sunday is also expected to remain unsettled, with further chances of showers in various regions. Drivers should be prepared for changeable weather and adjust their driving accordingly.
Next Week
Looking ahead to the following week, the overall picture suggests a continuation of somewhat unsettled conditions across Spain at the start of the week, with lingering showers. However, there are indications that high pressure may begin to build from mid-week onwards, leading to a gradual return to drier and more stable weather for many areas. Temperatures should remain mild to warm. Drivers should still keep an eye on localised forecasts for specific conditions.
Focus on School Buses
Officers from the Guardia Civil’s Traffic Unit will ensure compliance with school transportation regulations, especially ensuring they travel at an appropriate speed and avoid distractions while driving, two of the most common causes of accidents involving school buses.
Wearing a seat belt on school buses is vital for safety, both on short and long journeys, and both on urban and interurban routes.
In the campaign held in November 2024, 48.7% of the school buses inspected were fined for violating some provision of the regulations.
