Aemet

Spaniards are searching for 'chubasco' — a sudden, heavy downpour — as weather forecasts point to a stormy start of October. Forecaster Jorge Rey's Cabañuelas predictions of rain and storms over the 12 October long weekend are said to conflict with the official AEMET outlook. Meanwhile meteorologists warn that unusually warm Atlantic waters near Spain, around 24°C, will fuel strong autumn storms, with rain expected across much of the country.
