The weekend starts marked by the sun in almost all of Spain

The carnivals, which depend on the lunar calendar each year, span from Thursday the 11th (Lardero Thursday in some areas of Spain) to February 17 (Ash Wednesday), dates on which this time the usual mass events and holidays will not be held. .

“In the coming days, a powerful anticyclone located in central Europe will exert its influence on our territory, keeping Atlantic storms away and guaranteeing generally stable weather, with few clouds and weak and limited rainfall in Galicia, the Mediterranean area of ​​the peninsula and the Balearic Islands. , since in that area of ​​the Mediterranean winds will have maritime origin and cloudiness will accumulate with possible weak rains, “explained Rubén del Campo, spokesman for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

Temperatures will tend to rise during the day in large areas of the peninsula, except in the Mediterranean provinces. “In general, they will beLtas for the time of year in Spain, in contrast to the intense cold wave that is being suffered and will continue to be suffered in central and eastern Europe, “added Del Campo.

Aemet’s prediction indicates that on Saturday there will be more than 20 degrees in western Andalusia, Almería, Murcia, Alicante, Valencia, Castellón and the Canary Islands, and on Sunday that value will be exceeded in western Andalusia, Extremadura, the Cantabrian area, Murcia, the Andalusian Mediterranean and the Canary Islands.

Main thermal declines are concentrated on the Mediterranean façade, with seven degrees less in Alicante between Friday and Sunday; six in Castellón de la Plana, Girona and Valencia; five in Palma de Mallorca, and four in Barcelona, ​​Malaga, Murcia and Tarragona.

On the other hand, temperatures will rise more in Bilbao and Segovia (five degrees more between Friday and Sunday), as well as Ávila, Oviedo, Salamanca, Soria and Zamora (four more). The hottest capitals will be Murcia (24 degrees); Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Seville (22); Huelva, Málaga and Oviedo (21), and Alicante, Bilbao, Cádiz, Córdoba and Valencia (20). On the other hand, some provincial capitals will freeze at dawn, specifically Burgos, León, Palencia, Soria, Teruel and Valladolid.

Weekend

During Saturday, the dry weather will dominate the weekend in Spain. Some light rain is only expected in Galicia, on the one hand, and the Mediterranean area, on the other, especially near the coast of Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and other points on the Mediterranean coast; in the latter case, the explanation lies in the arrival of maritime winds, wetter and cooler than those from the west in recent days.

“Although the maximum temperatures will rise during the weekend in almost all regions, curiously they will fall in the Mediterranean, especially in Catalonia,” said Del Campo, before adding that cold air now settled over the European continent will reach this community.

This will lower the snow level on Sunday to between 600 and 800 meters in Catalan lands. Del Campo highlighted that the thermometers will reflect up to 22 degrees in points of the Cantabrian Sea, as well as in the Guadiana and Guadalquivir valleys, southern Andalusia and the interior of the Valencian Community and Murcia. In the Canary Islands, the stable weather will stay this weekend, with some drizzles in the north of the islands of greater relief.
