Spain Braces for New Year Chill

Published: 2024-12-29

Spain is set to end 2024 with a mix of calm weather and a sharp drop in temperatures.

The current anticiclonic conditions will persist through the weekend, bringing clear skies and widespread fog, especially in the northern plateau.

However, a cold air mass will usher in freezing temperatures by New Year's Eve, with some areas like Valladolid and León seeing lows of -4°C.

The first week of 2025 will bring significant changes, as a DANA weather system approaches from the southwest.

This could lead to heavy rains in regions like Cádiz and Alicante, while the north may experience increased rainfall as the anticiclone shifts southward.

Despite daytime temperatures rising slightly in the north, frosty nights and dense fog will dominate much of the interior.

Prepare for a colder-than-usual start to the new year.
