 Vince developed from an extratropical system on October 8 , becoming a subtropical storm southeast of the Azores . The National Hurricane Center ( NHC ) did not officially name the storm until the next day , shortly before Vince became a hurricane . The storm weakened at sea and made landfall on the Iberian Peninsula as a tropical depression on October 11 . Vince was the first tropical system to do so since the 1842 Spain hurricane . It dissipated over Spain , bringing much needed rain to the region , and its remnants passed into the Mediterranean Sea .
