With these days just around the corner, since this year they fall on January 5 on a Sunday, the day of the parades, and on the 6th on a Monday, a holiday, many people wonder what time is going to accompany us to find out if we can go out to see their majesties in their floats.

The popular meteorologist Mario Picazo responded to this question, giving his weather forecast for the coming days, as he usually does, through his social networks and the eltiempo.es website. As Picazo begins by announcing on his personal X account, changes are coming this yearspecifically rain and wind “to liven up this monotonous meteorology at the start of the new year”:
