From Thursday and Friday, an “unusually cold” air mass for this time of year will arrive in Spain and will affect with greater impact the Balearic Islands and large areas of the northern peninsula, the National Meteorological Agency (Aemet) announced on social network X.
During these days, with a clearly autumnal atmosphere, we expect a snow level of between 1,400 and 1,800 meters in the Pyrenees and frost in some mountain ranges, before starting to recede on Saturday to give way to higher than normal temperatures, especially in the west of the Peninsula.
Thus, and according to Aemet data, on Friday, one of the coldest days, minimum temperatures will drop to 5-9 degrees in provincial capitals such as Ávila, Bilbao, Burgos, Cuenca, Huesca, León, Logroño, Palencia. Pamplona, Segovia, Soria, Teruel, Valladolid and Vitoria.
During the day, the atmosphere will also be cool and only 7 capitals – Badajoz, Cáceres, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén and Seville – will reach or exceed 30 degrees.
From Saturday, temperatures will remain below the normal values of mid-September on the eastern coasts of Cantabria, in the northeast, the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands, continuing to decrease in the southern third of the peninsula and increasing in the rest of the peninsula and in the archipelagos.
