An anticyclone will be installed this Tuesday in the peninsular territory and will bring stable weather in most of Spain, with slightly cloudy skies and frost in large areas of the interior until Friday, according to forecasts from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). However, there will be mists and fogs which can be dense and persistent in the interior of Galicia, the northeastern depressions, the northern plateau and the valleys of the southern plateau, with some precipitation in the Cantabrian Sea and in the Balearic Islands. Except in the Cantabrian Sea and parts of the Balearic Islands, the rains will disappear.
The clearer sky due to the presence of the anticyclone this Tuesday will result in a drop in temperatures, night and day. Aemet spokesperson Rubén del Campo said that in cities like Zamora, Palencia or Valladolid, where fog is expected to settle in for a good part of the day, it will barely reach five degrees. Frosts will extend to mountainous areas as well as the north and center of the peninsula.
The combination of fog banks, which will be dense especially on the northern plateau, and low temperatures will give rise to freezing fog, with patches of ice which advise extreme caution when driving in the affected areas, warned the Aemet spokesperson. Low cloudiness will be abundant on the Atlantic and Cantabrian slopes and in the low areas of the interior, while in the Canary Islands there will be cloudy intervals in the interior of the mountainous islands.
As for the temperaturesthe maximums will decrease in the Cantabrian area and the northern areas of the peninsula with more persistent fogs, while they will increase in the southern half of the east and will remain without major changes in the rest. Minimum temperatures will drop on the southern plateau and the eastern third of the peninsula.
This Tuesday will also bring weak frosts in large inland areas of the northern half of the peninsula, northeast of the southern plateau and southeastern mountain ranges, it will be moderate in the mountains and even crazy strong in the Pyrenees. As for the windthe wind will generally blow weakly with a predominance from the north and west in the peninsula and in the Balearic Islands and from the south and east in the Canary Islands, although it will be necessary to expect probable strong and very strong gusts of north wind in Empordà.
New Year’s Eve and New Year
The change of year will be stable and cold on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, Wednesday and Thursday. There will be almost no rain, according to Aemet, but frost will persist in much of the north, center and east of the peninsula.
They will also have continuity dense and persistent fog banks in areas of valleys and plateaus, with the possibility that these fogs, especially still on the northern plateau, will be icy. The night of the change of year will be cold in the interior of the peninsula.
They are expected Wednesday negative temperatures in the capitals such as Albacete, Ávila, Burgos, Cuenca, León, Lleida, Pamplona, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Teruel or Vitoria, and Thursday also in Logroño, Madrid, Lugo or Toledo.
A front will arrive this Thursday in the Canary Islands, archipelago in which the previous days will have been calm. Widespread rain will be locally heavy and persistent, particularly in the Western Islands. Friday Aemet predicts that this front will continue to leave rain on the Canary Islands on Friday, but there are already some scenarios that predict that it will also be located in the peninsula and will bring new rains to the west and center, which could be locally intense in western Andalusia.
