Today, March 1, the meteorological spring begins. The color season that many like so much, and not so much others. During this quarter, how will the weather behave? Will it rain more than usual? Will it be hot or cold?
Let's see how will spring 2017 be according to the State Meteorological Agency.
Each month the AEMET makes a prediction for the next three months using different models that take as a reference the data for the period 1981-2010. Although it is impossible to know for sure what the weather will be like, we can get an idea by taking a look at this prediction. With this in mind, let's see what this station has in store for us:
Temperatures

This spring is expected warmer than normal throughout Spain. This is something that we are already seeing in many parts of the country, where the values remain between 5 and 7 degrees above normal. Thus, for example in southern Andalusia, this peninsula, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, maximum temperatures may range between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius. In the rest, although they will not be as high, they will remain between 15 and 20ºC.
Without a doubt, they are very nice values, but they are more typical of the end of spring / beginning of summer.

If we talk about rainfall, there is a greater probability that they are lower than normal in the Canary Islands. In the rest of the country, it is most likely that they will remain normal. This means that if it does not usually rain a lot in your area, this year it will most certainly not fall too much.
Thus, in general, a hot spring season is expected, to the point that more than one and more than two are sure to bathe in the pool or on the beach before summer arrives, and dry.
Have a good spring.
