Aemet weather warns of snow in Madrid this weekend
An
Atlantic storm has brought unpleasant, wintery weather to many areas of
Spain
this weekend
, with widespread rain;
snow
not only in the mountains, but also at low levels of about 600 meters;
Strong gusts of 90 km/h and waves of nearly seven meters in Galicia.
"The weather this weekend will be marked by the presence of a storm, which will give rise to an episode of adverse weather, with rain, snow, wind and sea storms in our country," according to Rubén del
Campo,
spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).
Del Campo stressed that "rainfall is going to be widespread and abundant."
"The snow will make an appearance not only in mountain areas, but also in lower areas and, although the wind will not be the most adverse factor, it will also cause poor sea conditions and will blow with intensity, increasing the sensation of unpleasant weather.
"All this, accompanied by a
drop in temperatures
that will leave a cold environment for the time of year, especially in daytime temperatures, which, in many parts of the interior of the peninsula will be between
5 and 10 degrees below normal
for this time of year," he summarized.
The Aemet prediction, collected by Servimedia, indicates that the coldest capitals during the day will be
Ávila
this Saturday (6) and
Ávila
,
Segovia
and
Soria
on Sunday (9).
In general, many areas of Castilla y León will be below 10 degrees.
On the other hand, it will be warmer on the peninsula this Saturday in
Murcia
(20) and on Sunday in
Castellón de la Plana and Murcia
(21).
The Canary Islands capitals - Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife - will reach between 21 and 24 degrees.
Andalusia
The rain storm has washed away a good part of the
El Bombo beach in Mijas
(Málaga) and has caused significant damage to a beach bar located on the seafront.
The mayor of Mijas,
Ana Mata
, has published several photos on the social network
The coast of Mijas has been suffering from the scourge of sea storms for a long time and the City Council had precisely planned to dump
13,000 cubic meters of sand
in El Bombo to alleviate the loss of beach.
Just over
200 incidents
have been attended to by the Single Emergency Telephone in Andalusia due to the rain and wind recorded throughout the day today due to the passage of a new front through the Peninsula, according to 112.
Although notices have been received from practically all the Andalusian provinces, the incidents managed in the provinces of Córdoba
stand out above all
, where more than 50 have been coordinated, and in
Cádiz
where the figure is also close to fifty.
The highest volume of warnings in Córdoba has been concentrated
during the early hours of the morning
and in a short period of time, about 20 minutes, when more than twenty incidents were attended to.
Galicia
Galicia has recorded a total of
32 incidents
, 21 since 8:00 a.m. this Saturday, on roads caused by snow or ice.
This was reported by 112 and detailed that the most relevant accident was on the
AP-9, as it passed through Pontevedra
with at least two people injured after a multiple collision.
Added to this event were incidents due to the presence of snow on the roads of the Lugo municipalities of
Chantada, Folgoso do Courel and Triacastela
.
For their part, in
Ourense
the municipalities of Montederramo, Nogueira de Ramuín, Chandrexa de Queixa, Avión, Calvos de Randín, Cualedro, Laza, Lobeira, Maceda, San Cristovo de Cea and A Gudiña have been affected.
In the province of Pontevedra, incidents have been recorded in
Forcarei, Rodeiro and Dozón
.
On the
A-52 as it passes through A Gudiña
, several drivers have reported significant delays due to snowfall and the presence of ice on the road.
Sunday
On Sunday the influence of the storm will continue, although it will weaken.
Thus, widespread rains will appear, less abundant than in previous days.
The largest accumulations will occur in the Cantabrian Sea, while in the Levantine area and
the Balearic Islands
it will barely rain.
"It will continue to snow in the mountains, especially in the central and northern ones, with a snow level that will rise from 900 meters at the beginning in the northern half and central area to about 1,000 or 1,400 meters. That same level of 1,000 to 1,400 meters will be in the southern half, although there it will rise in the central hours of the day," said Del Campo.
Temperatures will clearly rise in much of the country, although the cold atmosphere for the time of year will continue in the interior of the peninsula.
On the shores of the Mediterranean it will already exceed 18 or 20 degrees.
