"There’s a 75% chance that La Niña will be in place by the fall, meaning sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific at the equator will be more than 0.5°C below average. It’s possible the transition from El Niño to La Niña will be quick, with forecasters slightly favoring La Niña developing this summer."

So, given the weather changes already in effect in effect on the Pacific Ocean and already being experienced on the Canadian west coast, what will be the La Niña impact on Spanish weather along del Norte come September and October ?
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
There won't be any impact you can feel. It will be rainy and stormy at times, but that's nothing unusual.

In autumn the bay of Biscay offers everything between 30 degrees + and sunshine and ten meter waves and and gale force winds.
 
The rain in Spain ?as the saying goes will always fall on The Norte and in Galicia
Today in San Sebastián the pilgrims are facing a very wet walk however the temp is 21 and on the news last night Spain was roasting down south however Bilbao was having storms
Bring your rain gear regardless of the month.
