Fall is the time when we spend our days putting on and taking off clothes. In the morning it is quite cold, as it is at night, while the rest of the day it is quite hot and it seems that that is precisely what is going to be felt this weekend in a special way in what is known as “meteorological onion” , a phenomenon that we explain in more detail below.
What is the «meteorological onion» that arrives in Spain
During the last days it seems that the so-called “ onion days ” have been taking place, something that is going to intensify during this weekend and that corresponds to a phenomenon that is very typical of autumn since it refers to the oscillation temperatures that occurs throughout the day with a cool environment when we are in the early morning and warm in the afternoon.
In this way we have no choice but to dress like an “onion”, that is to say in layers , to be able to leave the house in the morning warm and remove layers as the day goes by, while later we will have to put them back on. the case of returning home at night.
And that is what is going to happen this weekend precisely as revealed by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) , with some “onion days”, marked by temperatures that will vary up to 20 degrees depending on the weather. area on the same day.
# OnionDays are back: cool atmosphere in the early morning and warm in the afternoon (more than 20 ° C difference in some areas).
We will have to leave the house with several layers of clothing (such as onions) from which we will gradually shed.

The time for this weekend
From what was announced by the AEMET we can say that the weather for this Saturday and Sunday October 16 and 17 is expected to be stable with fogs in the morning and slightly cloudy skies, although there may be some moments of scant and isolated rain while the temperature will have a great thermal amplitude. We can understand then that what we are going to experience will be cool early mornings and a mild environment in the central hours, possibly warmer than normal so that we will notice that temperature contrast between hot and cold much more.
