The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) forecasts for this Thursday a generalized drop in thermometers and locally persistent rainfall in the west of Galicia and the southern plateau, Strait and surrounding areas.

In the southeastern half of the Peninsula and in the Balearic Islands, the passage of an Atlantic front is expected, as well as the entry of a second through the northwest of the peninsula, so that abundant cloudiness and rain are expected in much of the territory. Precipitation in the form of snow may also fall in the mountains of the northern half and Sierra Nevada, with somewhat higher accumulations in the north. Meanwhile, cloudy intervals are expected in the western Canary Islands, without ruling out some showers in the afternoon and little cloudiness in the rest.

Snow levels will drop from between 1,400 and 1,800 to 1,000 metres in the western Bay of Biscay, to 1,200 and 1,600 in the Pyrenees and will remain at more than 2,000 metres in the Sierra Nevada.

Mist and fog banks associated with the fronts, more likely in the mountains, persistent in the western Cantabrian Sea, northeast of the southern plateau and northern Andalusia are not ruled out.

Temperatures will tend to fall in almost the entire country, except for the minimums in the southern third and the Strait, where increases will predominate, and frosts are expected in the Pyrenees, weak in the western Cantabrian Sea, Sistema Central and Sierra Nevada and more scattered in other mountain areas of the northern half.

Winds will blow from the southwest rolling to the west on the Atlantic and Cantabrian slopes, from the west and southwest in the south of the eastern third and the Mediterranean area and variable in the northeast. On the coasts of Galicia and in Alboran there will be intervals of strong wind, in the Canary Islands there will be light winds of variable direction with a predominance of the northern component.
