Twelve communities ―Castilla y León, Navarra, Aragón, Cantabria, Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Andalusia, Extremadura, Murcia, Valencian Community, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands―, with special incidence in Castilla y León, where the level is orange in Soria and Segovia (significant risk, the second on a scale of three) due to minimum temperatures of at least -10°, reports the Meteorological Agency (Aemet). The cause of these low temperatures is “of continental origin in northern Europe,” explains Aemet spokesperson Rubén del Campo. Although it is very cold, they are normal temperatures for this time of year and .

At eight in the morning, and there has been frost near the coast, with 0.6° in Alicante and 0.2° at the University of Palma de Mallorca, . The frosts, although not as intense as of Thursday, will continue for the remainder of the week and, facing the end of the week and the beginning of the next, “there could be a change in weather,” Del Campo advances.

To begin with, this afternoon, the expert details, “there will be no major changes in temperatures compared to previous days,” so they will remain “around 10° or somewhat below in much of the interior of the north and from the east of the Peninsula.” The Aemet does not expect rain, except in Melilla, although it will tend to subside in the afternoon.

Thursday will be a day again with widespread frosts, although “less intense than on previous days.” In fact, the agency spokesperson points out, “it will no longer drop below -5°, except in isolated points on the northern plateau and central moors, as well as in high mountain areas.”

The main novelty of this day will be “the arrival of a storm from the Mediterranean, which will increase instability in this sector, with showers in the Balearic Islands and on the eastern coast of the peninsula.” Showers that can be stormy and locally strong in the afternoon in points in the south of the provinces of Valencia and north of Alicante. In addition, it could snow from about 700 meters in these areas of the peninsular Mediterranean and in Mallorca. . “The word dana does not have to be synonymous with torrential rains and in this case it is not,” recalls the Aemet spokesperson.

On the warning map, there will no longer be any orange warnings. These are Andalusia, Aragon, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia (there is also a warning for bad seas), Extremadura and the Valencian Community (also under a warning for rain).

Friday will be “a day very similar to Thursday, again with showers in the peninsular Mediterranean area, which could go a little further inland, and also showers in the Balearic Islands.” Again, the showers could be locally strong, especially in parts of the Valencian Community, with snowfall from 700 or 800 meters. Snowfall could also occur again in Mallorca.

Barely, in all cases yellow: Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha and Catalonia. In addition, there will be a yellow warning for bad seas in the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Murcia and the Valencian Community and, again, for rain in the latter community.

During the weekend, the dana will move away and stable weather will prevail in most of Spain, although “fronts will begin to approach from the Atlantic, which will leave rain in Galicia on Sunday and then in the following days in the west peninsular”. Temperatures will drop somewhat on Friday and rise over the weekend. However, frost will continue in much of the interior of the peninsula, with around -4° in points of the Northern plateau.
