ARCHIVED - Temperatures plummet in Spain with the arrival of Storm Diomedes
The rain will give way to intense cold in the coming days in Spain
Storm Diomedes is currently battering Greece and causing “very adverse” weather which could make its way to Spain this week, according to State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). Spokesperson Beatriz Hervella has said that Diomedes is an intense front that will most likely bring strong winds and a considerable drop in temperatures from Wednesday January 12, although nowhere near the extremes experienced elsewhere in Europe.
At the beginning of the week the calm weather prevailed with the exception of a few showers on the eastern coast, but from Wednesday the Mercury will begin to plummet and Aemet predicts that a few weather warnings will be issued in the coming days that “will focus on the extreme minimum temperatures” across much of Spain.
In general, the meteorologists forecast that the second week of January will be dry with the worst of the rain contained in the surroundings of Malaga, the southeast of Spain and the eastern and central Cantabrian Sea. While many regions could experience sub-zero temperatures and severe frosts the news isn’t all bad, as Hervella confirms that “we are expecting some anticyclonic days” which will bring clear skies and settled weather overall.
