Cold snap expected to ease after today

On Thursday, rainfall will continue in the Cantabrian Sea, especially affecting the coasts and, to a lesser extent, the interior, and will tend to subside at the end of the day. They will also continue in Catalonia, where they will subside in the afternoon, and in the Balearic Islands, and could be locally strong.

Snow, which started yesterday in many places, will continue at a level of 300-600 metres in parts of the interior of Catalonia, and may affect highland areas of the central depression. The wind and north winds will also intensify, blowing at strong intervals.

Thanks to this cold spell, throughout Thursday and Friday, it is likely that frost will spread across a good part of the Peninsula, except for the southwestern third and coastlines, and may become locally strong in mountain systems in the northern half. Daytime temperatures will be low, especially on Thursday, with maximums below 5ºC in large areas of the northern half of the peninsula and locally on the southern plateau.

Starting on Friday afternoon, the AEMET expects temperatures to rise and precipitation to cease, which will put an end to this episode of winter weather.
