The rains This Saturday, they will sweep a good part of the Peninsula from west to east on a day in which nine autonomous communities will be on notice for wind, waves, snow, storms, floods and gales, according to the prediction of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).
Specifically, Almería (Andalusia) will be in warning by wind. In turn, Almería (Andalusia), the coast of the Guadalentín Valley, Lorca and Águilas and the coast of Campo de Cartagena and Mazarrón will be on notice for waves. On the other hand, Huesca (Aragon), the western and eastern coasts of Asturias and Lleida (Catalonia) will be on a storm warning. In addition, Menorca (Balearic Islands) will be on notice due to rissagas; the Cantabrian coast and Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya, due to gales; and León, for snow.
Thus, the state agency predicts an Atlantic low that will leave cloudy or overcast skies and rain in a good part of the Peninsula, sweeping it from west to east, and arriving in the Balearic Islands at the end of the day. Specifically, rainfall will be more abundant, and may be locally strong or persistent in the western Cantabrian Sea and the Pyrenees, while it is very unlikely that it will fall in the extreme southeast of the peninsula and western Andalusia.
In general, the prediction expects that tend to be less in the afternoon, acquire an occasional character and leave the skies with cloudy intervals. For the rest, it predicts cloudy skies or cloudy intervals in the Canary Islands and probable occasional rainfall in the north and interior of the most important islands.
Meanwhile, the snow levels On the Peninsula they will be between 900 and 1,200 meters (m) in the northwest, 1,300/1,700 m in the center and northeast, and about 2,000 m in the south. In turn, frost will be restricted to the Cantabrian and Pyrenees and will be unlikely in other mountains in the northern half.
With regards to the temperatures, the maximums will increase in the Levant and eastern Cantabrian Sea and will decrease in the rest, while the minimums will rise in the northeast quadrant of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands and will decrease in the northwest, in general without major changes in the rest. In this way, the highest values in the entire country will be 26ºC in Murcia, 25ºC in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and 24ºC in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Likewise, Aemet foresees wind moderate from the north and northwest in Galicia and the Canary Islands, from the southwest in the rest of the peninsular Atlantic slope and from the west in the southern half of the Mediterranean coast, with strong intervals on the coast of Almería. In addition, it points out that there will be a southeast wind in Aragon, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands and in the eastern Cantabrian Sea, a gale with a southerly wind turning west with strong intervals.
