As the weekend approaches, the weather forecast for Las Rozas de Madrid indicates a significant shift, with unstable conditions expected to dominate the region. According to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), Saturday, May 10, 2025, will see a mix of cloudy intervals from dawn until 06:00 hours, transitioning to stormy weather with showers throughout the morning and afternoon. The day is expected to conclude with fewer clouds, providing a brief respite from the rain.
In the morning, residents can anticipate rainfall that could deliver up to 3 liters per square meter around 10:00 AM. As the day progresses, the precipitation is likely to taper off into light drizzles. However, the possibility of thunderstorms looms over the area, with conditions remaining unsettled throughout the day.
Temperatures on Saturday are projected to mirror those of the previous day, peaking at 18 degrees Celsius around 4:00 PM and dipping to a low of 8 degrees Celsius early in the morning. Light winds from the south will accompany the weather changes, providing a gentle breeze amidst the unsettled conditions.
Looking ahead to Sunday, May 11, 2025, the weather will remain partly cloudy until noon, with rain expected to commence around 12:00 PM. The maximum temperature is forecasted to be similar to Saturday's, while minimum temperatures will drop slightly to around 6 degrees Celsius. Winds will shift to light breezes from the west, bringing a different feel to the day's weather.
On Monday, May 12, 2025, the forecast predicts a respite from rain, as mostly clear skies will prevail. Temperature readings will remain stable, fluctuating between 6 and 18 degrees Celsius. Light breezes from the southwest will contribute to a calm atmosphere, making for a pleasant start to the week.
As the weather patterns unfold this weekend, Madrid will experience a notable contrast to the typical spring climate. The instability is attributed to various meteorological phenomena affecting the center, north, and east of the Peninsula. Rubén del Campo, a spokesperson for AEMET, noted that stormy showers could be particularly intense, especially in regions such as the Basque Country, Castilla y León, and Navarra, where hail may accompany the downpours.
In the context of broader climatic trends, Madrid's weather is often characterized as a Mediterranean continental climate, with distinct seasonal variations. The average temperature in Madrid hovers around 15 degrees Celsius, with summer highs reaching up to 40 degrees and winter lows dipping near 0 degrees. Rainfall is predominantly concentrated in the winter months and the transitional seasons of spring and autumn.
For instance, the rainy season is most pronounced from October to December and again in April and May, aligning with the current forecasts. This year, the precipitation levels have been particularly noteworthy, with the probability of rain on Friday, May 9, 2025, reaching 46%. The day is expected to see a maximum temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with minimums around 10 degrees. Wind gusts could reach 41 kilometers per hour during the day and 32 kilometers per hour at night.
AEMET's predictions underscore the ongoing climatic shifts that have been observed globally, with subtle changes in average annual temperatures influencing habitats and weather patterns. The agency employs various classification systems, including the Köppen climate classification, to categorize the climate based on temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, and precipitation.
As the weekend progresses, the weather is expected to stabilize slightly, though the cool temperatures will persist, particularly in the western half of the Peninsula. For example, Salamanca is expected to reach a maximum of only 17 degrees Celsius, while Cáceres may see 19 degrees. In contrast, the Guadalquivir Valley could experience warmer conditions, with temperatures reaching 25 degrees Celsius in Seville and up to 27 degrees Celsius in the Region of Murcia.
Despite the anticipated precipitation, the weather is expected to improve slightly as the week advances. On Monday, while there may still be some showers, they are predicted to be less frequent and intense compared to the weekend. By Tuesday, temperatures are forecasted to rise again, although a potential drop may occur on Wednesday, particularly in the southern regions.
In summary, this weekend's weather in Las Rozas de Madrid will be marked by instability and stormy conditions, with rain and cool temperatures dominating the forecast. Residents are advised to prepare for changing weather patterns, as the likelihood of thunderstorms and hail remains a possibility. As the week unfolds, a gradual return to more stable weather conditions is anticipated, providing a brief respite from the tumultuous spring weather.
