Downpours, high winds and stormy seas are set to blight the holiday plans of thousands of UK tourists heading to Spain in the coming days. Popular destinations from the Canary islands to mainland Spain and the Balearics have all been hit by the adverse conditions in recent days.
Expats resident in Benidorm on the Costa Brava said the prolonged period of rain and winds is the worst for more than 20 years, while Majorca has also been hit by bead weather including snow flurries on high ground. But the good news is conditions are predicted to begin improving in the coming days as a mass influx of British visitors arrives for the Easter period.
A polar front will arrive in the region on Friday with a risk of snow down to 700 metres. The Aemet weather forecast agency stated: "April will begin with unpleasant winter weather: cold, snow, wind and rough seas."
