Andalusia is bracing for a dramatic change in weather as the remnants of Hurricane Gabrielle sweep across the region this weekend.
Just in time for the start of the new hydrological year on Wednesday, October 1, western provinces including Huelva, Seville, Cádiz, and Malaga are expected to welcome the first major rainfall of the season.
Forecasters warn that the storm front could bring intense downpours, strong gusts of wind, and powerful coastal waves, marking the long-awaited return of wet weather after months of dry conditions. The system is set to deliver significant rainfall accumulations, a potential boost for water reserves but also a concern for localised flooding and disruption.
Meteorologists note that this will likely be the first major Atlantic storm system of autumn for southern Spain, signalling the transition into wetter, more unsettled conditions. Residents are advised to stay alert for official weather updates and to prepare for potentially hazardous travel conditions, especially along the coast.
