ARCHIVED - Spain on yellow alert for frost and low temperatures: Monday January 24
Seventeen provinces in Spain have been issued with a weather warning, although a ‘Filomena’ has been ruled out

A total of 17 provinces in Spain will remain on yellow alert on Monday January 24 with temperatures as low as -8ºC forecast, according to State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).
At dawn and first thing in the morning, extremely cold frosts are expected to hit the areas of Huesca, Teruel, Zaragoza, Ávila, Burgos, León, Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid, Zamora, Guadalajara, Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona.
In addition, Cádiz will be on yellow alert for coastal phenomena, with force 7 winds, occasionally rising to 8, in the west of the Strait.
The Valencian Community and the Region of Murcia can expect scattered showers throughout Monday, while cloudy skies will prevail throughout most of the southeast. Morning mists are forecast in the southeast of Castilla-La Mancha and inland Galicia, according to Aemet, which has also issued a warning for hazy weather in the southeast of Spain.
Temperatures will rise slightly in the Cantabrian mountain range, the Basque Country, Navarra and the Pyrenees while frosts will persist in much of the north, east and central Spain.
Despite the recent cold snap, meteorologists have ruled another episode similar to storm Filomena, which wreaked havoc across much of Spain this time last year. The forecast shows that January 24 was actually the most likely day for this weather phenomenon to occur, but while the day will be colder than normal for the most part, it will also be much drier than usual.
