A radical change in time
Spain is set for a significant weather change, with the imminent arrival of a polar air mass that will cause a drastic drop in temperatures. According to meteorologist Mario Picazo, this weather change will be noticeable in the coming days, with the possibility of heavy snowfall in several regions of the country.
AEMET evaluation
The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has confirmed Picazo’s predictions, warning of the approaching winter conditions. In their statements, they have warned that the weather situation will become more complicated from the weekend with a notable drop in temperatures.
Arctic air forecasts
The AEMET has specified that arctic air will begin to make an appearance, causing a drop in temperatures that can be extremely noticeable. Experts predict that, with the arrival of the new week, snowfall could make an appearance at low altitudes, especially in the north of the country.
Snow expectations in the northern regions
The weekend will witness the first snowfalls, with a special focus on the Cantabrian Mountains and the Pyrenees. Initially, snowfalls will occur at altitudes of around 1000 meters, but as Sunday progresses, the altitudes will drop to 500-600 meters.
Impact on the Pyrenean areas
The forecast for the Pyrenees region is particularly worrying, with snow accumulations that could exceed a meter. Snowfall could persist until Tuesday, affecting a wider area and including lower altitudes.
Snowfall in other regions
In addition, the Iberian System in the north will also experience significant snowfall, with accumulations that could reach half a meter. In contrast, snowfall in the center of the peninsula will be less intense, with a light presence in the Central System and the Sierra de Madrid.
Possible snow in the south
Towards Monday, there is a possibility that some flakes will be seen in Sierra Nevada and other mountain ranges in eastern Andalusia, although accumulations will be minimal compared to northern regions.
Final thoughts on winter weather
With the arrival of cold and snow, citizens must be prepared for a radical change in weather conditions. The forecast points to an intense winter, and authorities recommend paying attention to weather updates to ensure everyone’s safety.
