• Ciril storm An Atlantic front will bring rainfall and drop in temperatures

The month of April opens this Friday with winter weather in large areas of Spain, already

in astronomical spring and in full summer time

, since the north of the peninsula will have temperatures more typical of January and 11 autonomous communities are warned by snow, strong gusts of wind or rough seas.

This situation is due to the fact that the position of the

Atlantic anticyclone and the formation of storms in the Mediterranean

, the first of which was named Ciril, gives rise to a corridor for the entry of a mass of arctic air that will

plummet temperatures in the coming days

. , both during the day and at night, and it will snow at very low levels in the north of the peninsula.

The prediction of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), collected by Servimedia, indicates that

temperatures will be between 5 and 15 degrees lower than normal

throughout the peninsula except for the southern third, as well as in the Balearic Islands.

The cold will be intense in capitals like Burgos and Soria (5ºC at most);

Ávila, Pamplona, ​​Segovia and Vitoria (6);

Cuenca, León and Teruel (7);

Guadalajara, Logroño, Palencia and Valladolid (8), and Huesca, Oviedo and San Sebastián (9).

These are mid-winter values, more typical of January, which is the coolest month of the year, than April.

On the other hand, it will be hotter in Santa Cruz de Tenerife (22), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (21) and Huelva, Malaga and Seville (20).
