ARCHIVED - Yellow warning for wind and storms: Valencia region weekend weather November 26-28
Cold front will lead to drop in temperatures across the Valencia region with snowfall at low altitudes
The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued a yellow warning for wind and localised storms for much of the Valencia region, including Alicante province, this weekend.
Temperatures will drop significantly and wind gusts at speeds of around 80 km/h are forecast, along with snowfall at low altitudes.
The DANA storm which hit the region over the last few days has been replaced by what has been termed the Arwen squall that is expected to sweep the peninsula over the next few days.
A yellow warning for very strong gusts of wind has been activated for Friday November 26 in Castellon, and has been significantly extended to the rest of the region moving into Saturday.
In particular, a yellow warning for coastal phenomena has been activated for the north coast of Alicante.
Sunday will be the coldest day across the region, warns Aemet.
In the city of Valencia, Mercury will drop to eight degrees, while in Alcoy in Alicante province, the thermometer is expected to fall to two degrees.
Maximum temperatures will be around 10 degrees, although in coastal areas they could reach 15 degrees. The day will begin with intervals of cloud, although in the evening, cloudiness will increase in the northern half of the region, causing weak precipitation in inland areas with snow likely at altitudes of 800 metres.
The drop in temperatures will also lead to a return to light frosts in inland areas of the region and periods of strong gusts of wind are expected to continue.
