UK tourists face a "miserable" problem ruining Spain holidays for "weeks". The European Union holiday hotspot has been met with a deluge of rain and torrential downpours, with the weather shift ruining vacations and trips for Brits heading abroad.

Spain continues to be dominated by storm Martinho, with rain, strong winds, and snow. In the coming hours, heavy rain could occur in the Mediterranean region, and a new front will also move in from the west.


The heaviest rain s expected in western Galicia, the Cantabrian mountain range, the Central System, Extremadura, Madrid, parts of Toledo, and the Pyrenees. Next week the anticyclone will be located off Spain, blocking the arrival of new storms.

According to the latest forecast, the anticyclone will continue to block the arrival of storms and fronts from the Atlantic at least until Thursday or Friday of next week. On Monday , thanks to the northerly flow over the peninsula, Brits in the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands and beyond could see rainfall in the far north.


Scattered showers are also possible on Tuesday inland parts of the eastern Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. Next week as a whole, temperatures are expected to remain below normal for the season in Spain, except along the coasts and archipelagos.

The northerly flow that will kick off the week will bring a cooler atmosphere, with highs ranging between 10°C and 15°C across most of the country. Maximum temperatures will continue to rise and are expected to continue rising until Wednesday.

On the Costa del Sol the latter half of the week is expected to be full of sunshine, while temperatures will surge back into the 20s, The Olive Press reported, bringing an end to what it called a stretch of “miserable” weather.
