We have a dance of storms, from “Gerad” we only have the song left, the snowfalls and the rains of yesterday. Today we are already feeling the effects of “Fien” the new storm that comes into play. This name change leaves us a day with more wind and more snow than yesterday.
We are in the worst of the storm. On a day of extreme risk, and extreme precautions. The wind intensifies, so much, that it has already left records of 176 km/h at the Machichaco weather station, almost as much wind as a category 3 hurricane. Almost the entire Peninsula and the Balearic Islands are under warning for strong gusts that go from 110 km/h in the northern mountains, at 70 km/h expected in the capital Madrid during the afternoon.
Mala mar
The “Fien” winds leave us with another very difficult day on the northern coasts. Especially in Galicia, where the waves have already reached 14 meters in height, on a day with a red level warning on the Galician coast, a day of extreme risk. And of significant risk due to waves in the Cantabrian and Mediterranean points.
The snow arrives downtown
The snowfall continues in the northern mountains, and as the hours go by it will appear at a lower altitude. Until the afternoon the warning of extreme risk due to snowfall in the Huesca Pyrenees is maintained. The warnings for snowfall continue in the Cantabrian mountain range, north of Castilla y León, La Rioja, and Navarra. The novelty of the day is found in the center: In the mountains of Madrid, in Segovia, Ávila, points of Zamora, and Salamanca today in the afternoon the snowfall will arrive. As the snow level of 1,200m decreases, about 700m at the end of the day. It will not snow in Madrid capital according to forecasts.
Rains, it pours
On the Cantabrian coast, the rains will continue to fall heavily, also with active warnings for persistent rainfall. We will have to monitor the level of the rivers.
falling temperatures
Temperatures will drop as the day progresses. Dawn will leave higher temperatures than expected at noon. All this, added to the gusts of wind, will leave a Tuesday feeling very cold.
