Widespread rain this Monday despite the fact that temperatures will rise

Temperatures will rise across the board this Monday, December 4, in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, where precipitation is also expected due to the passage of a front and there will be a dozen northern provinces at risk (yellow) due to winds, waves or snow, according to the forecast of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).

Specifically, Asturias, Cantabria, A Coruña, Lugo, Pontevedra, Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya will be under a yellow warning for coastal phenomena, with waves of up to five meters, while Navarra will have the same level of alert for southerly winds with maximum gusts of up to 70 kilometers/hour.

Likewise, Lleida will be at risk from snowfall, as will Huesca, where up to five centimeters of snow accumulation is expected in 24 hours. These accumulations are expected from 1,300 meters and the moments of greatest accumulation will occur at the beginning and end of the day and will continue until Tuesday morning.

In addition to these warnings, a front will sweep the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, leaving cloudy or overcast skies in its wake, with practically widespread rainfall, although generally weak, advancing from west to east, and which will be less likely in the Mediterranean area.

After its passage, clearings will tend to open, leaving cloudy intervals, although in Galicia, the Cantabrian area and the Pyrenees, greater cloudiness with showers and the occasional storm is expected to persist. These showers may also affect other areas of the northern half in a dispersed manner.

Likewise, after the front, greater cloudiness is expected to persist in Andalusia, with weak rainfall remaining in mountain areas, while in the Canary Islands cloudy intervals will predominate with a tendency to increase cloudiness, and without ruling out some weak and occasional rainfall in the west. of the archipelago.

The snow level, for its part, will be 900-1,200 meters in the Pyrenees with significant accumulations at high levels, 1,400 meters dropping to 900-1,200 meters in the rest of the northern peninsula, 1,000-1,400 meters in the center and above 2,000 meters in the south.

For this Monday, mists and frontal fog banks are also expected in mountain areas of the Peninsula. These could also occur in the morning in the Strait and mouth of the Ebro.

Regarding temperatures, maximum temperatures are expected to drop in the Pyrenees and Betic systems, while they will rise across the board in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. The minimum temperatures are expected at the end of the day in much of the Peninsula, with weak frosts in the main mountain systems, more intense, even locally strong in the Pyrenees, and locally in the plateaus and depressions of the northeast.

Finally, winds are expected to blow from the south and southwest, tending to roll to the west and northwest in most of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, reaching strong winds with very strong gusts in the Cantabrian environment and northern Galicia, also with some strong intervals. in Ampurdán. In the Canary Islands, light wind from the east.
