The anticyclonic situation that prevails in the Peninsula will continue to leave clear skies and calm winds and will favor the low temperatures that have been "installed" since the beginning of this cold wave, which has set a record of lows in decades and that today has still left almost 20 degrees below zero.

This situation will subside in the coming days with a gradual rise in temperatures that will allow the disappearance of the snow that continues to accumulate on the ground, walls and cornices and that in some places has become real ice rinks thanks to the extreme cold and the frost.

However, temperatures are still extraordinarily low, especially in a good part of the central peninsula, where they have been registered between 7 and 17 degrees below the usual values ​​for these dates, which are usually the coldest of the year, according to the spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), Rubén del Campo.
