Palma.—After a period of unusually warm weather across much of the country, Spain is now set for cooler temperatures with a cold front bringing rain by the bucketful and even the first snows of the autumn.
For many parts of Spain, October has been warmer than usual, with people making the most of the sunny conditions to stretch out the summer as long as possible.
From today, however, cafés around the country could start bringing in their tables: three successive cold fronts are now forecast to sweep across the country bringing plenty of rain and even snow to mountain areas over 1,200 metres (3,900 feet).

Cold front to hit Balearics on Monday
The first front hit Galicia yesterday bringing rain and colder temperatures to the northeast of the country today, the Met. office forecast
A second front is to deliver wet weather to much of Spain on Sunday and Monday with the most persistent downpours in Galicia, along the north coast, and in the Pyrenees.
