On Wednesday, almost all of Spain, including 16 autonomous communities, Ceuta, and Melilla, will be under weather alerts due to strong winds, high waves, and snow. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) predicts gusts of up to 80 km/h in Almería and the Valencian Community, and 90 km/h in the Alcaraz and Segura mountains in Albacete. Wind gusts of up to 90 km/h will trigger alerts in all Andalusian provinces, as well as in Teruel and Zaragoza in Aragón, southwestern Asturias, Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca, Liébana, the Ebro River in Cantabria, all Castilla y León provinces, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, Galicia, Madrid, the Murcia region, La Rioja, all Valencia provinces, Ceuta, and Melilla. High waves, reaching heights of five to seven meters (eight meters offshore in Pontevedra), will affect several coastal regions, as well as rain alerts in various provinces.
The AEMET forecasts that Spain and the Balearic Islands will remain under the influence of Storm Nelson and Atlantic fronts, with mostly cloudy skies increasing to overcast with widespread precipitation. The snow level is expected to range between 1,000 and 1,600 meters, dropping to 600/1,200 meters in the northwest, rising to 1,200/1,800 meters in the center and northeast, and reaching 2,000 meters in the southeast. Snowfall is expected in mountain areas, with accumulations of up to five centimeters in the northernmost regions and weak frost in northern and southeastern mountain areas, potentially more intense in the Pyrenees. The Mediterranean region will have less cloud cover, with occasional showers possible in the Balearic Islands. Canarias will experience partly cloudy skies, with occasional weak showers in mountainous regions.
Temperatures are expected to rise across the Peninsula, except for slight decreases in the eastern third and Balearic Islands. Canarias will see little change in temperatures. The highest temperatures will be in Murcia and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, reaching 23°C; Alicante and Castellón de la Plana at 22°C; and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Valencia at 21°C. Morning mountain and coastal fog are expected, along with strong westerly and southwest winds in the Peninsula and Balearic Islands, potentially reaching very strong gusts. Canarias will experience moderate northwest winds, shifting to light and variable winds in the afternoon.
In summary, almost all of Spain will be under weather alerts on Wednesday due to strong winds, high waves, and snow. Storm Nelson and Atlantic fronts will bring widespread precipitation, with snowfall in mountainous regions. Temperatures will rise across the Peninsula, with coastal and mountain fog in the morning and strong winds in several regions. Canarias will see stable weather conditions, with the possibility of occasional showers in mountainous areas.
