Spain's central and southern regions, along with northeast areas, have recorded cumulative rainfall since January 1 exceeding triple the 1991-2020 average, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). This data was reported in an update posted on X at approximately 9:15 PM UTC on February 8, 2026, covering the period through the reporting window ending 12:15 AM UTC on February 9. The Cantabrian region shows contrasting conditions, with rainfall scarcer than usual during the same period, AEMET stated in the same post. This marks a significant deviation from seasonal norms across much of the Iberian Peninsula. AEMET's analysis highlights the excess precipitation in most of the Peninsula's center and south, as well as specific northeast zones, based on comparisons to the 30-year climatological average.
