The weather today, October 20 in Spain: heavy rains persist in the Balearic Islands and Catalonia

On October 20, 2026, heavy rains caused by the depression Adam continue to affect the Balearic Islands and Catalonia in Spain. The Balearic Islands have issued an orange-level weather alert due to strong storms and heavy rainfall, while Catalonia may experience locally very intense precipitation with significant accumulations. According to the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), other parts of the Iberian Peninsula will see more stable weather conditions, with isolated clouds and light rain in some areas. In the Canary Islands, cloudy skies are expected, with possible strong and persistent showers on El Hierro and possibly La Palma. Morning fog banks are forecasted in mountainous regions and both Meseta highlands, with snowfall in higher elevations of the Pyrenees and weak frosts in northern mountains. Temperatures are expected to rise across most of the country except in the Balearics, Galicia, and southwest Spain, where maximum temperatures will decrease slightly.

Andalusia and Catalonia, under orange warning by AdamAdam after the worst in the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands

Spain is facing the final day of the most severe phase of the storm caused by the 'Adam' depression, combined with moist winds coming from the Mediterranean, which are fueling precipitation. During the early morning and first hours of the day, heavy rainfall continued in the Valencian Community, where the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) reported 'extraordinary and historical' accumulations. The rains, now less intense but still strong or very strong, have moved to Catalonia by the afternoon. AEMET has issued warnings in six regions, Ceuta, and Melilla, but there are no longer any red alerts, the highest level. At this hour, only Andalucia and Catalonia remain under orange alerts or significant risk, the second level of a three-level scale, while the Valencian Community, Balearic Islands, and Murcia have been downgraded to yellow, the lowest level.
