The situation could be unstable in the Canary Islands, where a storm located to the west of the islands “will favor the easterly flow.” According to the weather expert, all this will leave days marked by haze in the archipelago, which will be “especially intense” in the easternmost area. At the same time, it is expected that this storm could leave rainfall that would be more persistent in the western islands, especially in the province of Tenerife.

The other big doubt that Picazo has faced in this forecast has been that of if it will definitely snow in Spain during this Christmas. Despite the anticyclonic situation that we will have on December 24 and 25, the specialist explained that “we could end up seeing some snow in isolation in the mountains of extreme north of the peninsula».
«The first weekend of winter could leave us a few centimeters in northern areas», said the television presenter. The meteorologist thus confirms that, in some mountainous regions of the Cantabrian Sea and the Pyrenees, “snow could remain on the ground by Christmas Day”although punctually.
Although it will continue getting cold in almost the entire countrytemperatures could increase during this week. Of course, both on Christmas Eve and Christmas we will find “softer values”: “In some cases, we will have temperatures well above usual values for these dates,” explained Mario Picazo.
Frost during the first hours of December 25 will continue to prevail in cities such as Teruel or Soriawhile in Ciudad Real, Burgos or León will have minimum hovering around 0 degrees. However, double-digit temperatures will be the protagonists in many other areas of the country, such as Malaga, the Canary Islands or Ceuta and Melilla.
