“All eyes are already on this new storm that will pass the peninsula this Friday, leaving significant accumulations and moderate snowfall in the northern interior. until the early hours of Saturday morning”says the meteorologist.
This storm has already entered the Peninsula from the southwest and will move from one end to the other as it intensifies, with increasingly stronger winds and strong waves in many coastal areas. I am expected to leave significant rainfall both in the southwest and at points in the center and northeast.
In addition to rain, wind will also play a leading role from today until Saturday. The coasts of Almería and Granada, as well as the rest of the Mediterranean, will be affected by the epidemic.It can reach speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour.
Temperatures will drop as the storm progresses. “This entry of cold air will cause the snow level to drop to 700 to 800 meters on Friday in the central and northern regions of the peninsula. “We expect the most significant accumulations to be in areas ranging from 700 meters in the Iberian system to 20 cm in the Iberian region of Zaragoza,” says Mario Picazo .
Although light snowfall is expected from an altitude of 900 meters above sea level in the northern plateau, the snow will ease at the end of Saturday and Sunday will be more stable, sunny, but still intensely cold and frosty. In fact, when storm ‘Juan’ passed, “Winter temperatures are very high with frequent freezing in the interior of the peninsula.”Picazo warns.
