Nice catch! It is apparently a relay from Valencia, Spain for Spanish military
folks.

Per reports it is a relay of Onda Cero Radio, Madrid, and is due to 'football
fever' as Spain is in the running for some sort of Championship.

Huh? I heard the Spanish within a few minutes of the O.P. and then it reverted
to an English weather report for the Caribbean and then went silent.

Any clarifications are appreciated

I didn't listen too long because I had to get some sleep.

Here's a link to what the DX Listening Digest says (thanks to DxAce
for pointing this out):

Scroll down about 2/3 of the way to the bottom.

I don't know why they'd have thrown a little English in there or a
Caribbean weather forecast (Spanish naval exercise?), but my guess is
that it was this broadcast from Spain.

I believe the weather report you were hearing is actually on 4395 vs. the 4394.5
frequency that the relay mentioned above was on.
