The blizzard Gloria on the Mediterranean will feel its effects this Sunday with locally strong or persistent rainfall in the Community of Valencia and the Balearic Islands, snowfall in the interior of the peninsular east half, intervals of strong wind and a decrease in temperatures. In fact, before the arrival of Gloria the Aemet has activated the red alert for snow and coastal phenomena in Alicante and Valencia , and for coastal phenomena in Ibiza and Formentera .

The special warning of adverse events, issued by Aemet, which has a "very high" degree of probability, exceeding 80%, begins this Sunday and lasts until Tuesday 21 .

The combination of Gloria's position and the powerful European anticyclone, centered on the British Isles, will favor the entry of a mass of cold air from the interior of the continent, which together with the humid entrance of the Mediterranean will cause snowfall at very low levels of the Eastern peninsular third.

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) highlights that this Sunday will be cloudy with precipitation throughout the north end and peninsular eastern third, Balearic Islands and Melilla , being able to be locally strong or persistent in the Valencian and Balearic communities.

The rains could extend, with less intensity, to the rest of the Peninsula, except for the western end, where it will be little cloudy with only a few cloudy intervals. In the Canary Islands, slightly cloudy increasing at cloudy intervals.

There will be snowfall in mountain areas in the north and in the interior of the peninsular east half . The snow level will be located at 400-700 meters in the peninsular northwest; 600 to 1,000 meters in the northwest, center and east of the peninsula, and 800 to 1,200 meters in the south.

Temperatures will generally decrease in most of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands , and without changes in the Canary Islands. Frosts will occur in central and northern peninsular areas , being locally moderate.

The winds will blow from the northeast in most of the country, with strong intervals throughout the eastern peninsular, Balearic and Melilla, as well as in mountain and coastal areas.
