The polar cold is hitting all of mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands and, although the snowfalls that this icy spell has brought with it have been appreciated in the ski resorts, since they have allowed skiers to enjoy absolutely idyllic pictures, what It is true that a large part of Spaniards are already looking towards the horizon with the hope that with the last blows of the first month of the year, frosts and temperatures below zero during the early mornings also end.

Looking ahead to Monday, the Aemet expects that the maximums will begin to rise throughout Spain, although that same day, the minimum temperatures will continue to drop, producing significant frosts at dawn that will contrast with a pleasant environment at noon.

In this mountain range, the thermometers will mark, depending on the altitude of the area, up to a minimum of -2ºC and a maximum of 11ºC, something usual for the beginning of February.
It will be from Monday, February 6 when the frosts begin to stay behind. Between the 6th and the 12th, the thermometers are expected to rise throughout the country Even reaching the eastern half of up to 2 ºC above what is usual on these dates.
