The influence of a storm and the entry of Atlantic fronts will cause a change in the weather starting this Friday, especially in the north of the peninsula, with rainfall in Galicia and the Cantabrian Sea, which is expected to be persistent and with significant accumulations on the western façade, potentially reaching be locally strong.
According to the special prediction carried out by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) for the Christmas holidays, this Friday there will be “a change in trend, with the approach of a storm and the arrival of Atlantic fronts”, which will mainly affect the northern half of the peninsula and will leave rainfall in the Cantabrian Sea and Galicia.
For Saturday the 4th, the rains will continue in Galicia, the Cantabrian Sea and the Pyrenees, “although in a weaker, more dispersed and occasional way than the previous day.” However, on the 5th and 6th, when the parades and Three Kings Day are celebrated, “an increase in instability is expected,” warns AEMET. Precipitation will be “widespread” in the northern and western halves of the Peninsula, and snow is likely above 1,500 meters. Temperatures will also drop on Monday, Three Kings Day. Given the forecast of rain for Sunday, several localities are announcing that they will advance the Three Kings parade to the 4th (Saturday), as CordovaEstepona, Marbella and Seville.
