Is a cold wave expected the next few days? Will new storms arrive?
We approach the final stretch of climatological winter in Spain, which will conclude on February 28. According to the analysis of the meteorological expert Samuel Biener, from Meteored (Tiempo.com), This winter could end without registering any cold wave in the country. Although there have been episodes of intense frosts in several areas, there has been no prolonged and generalized cold to consider a cold wave event.
According to the forecasts of the Meteored Reference Model, in February, the high pressures will be located on Greenland and Scandinavia, allowing the advance of deep Atlantic storms. These Atlantic Supplies will bring temperate and humid air, which will cause temperatures higher than the average between 1 and 3 ° C in Spain. Besides, Abundant rainfall is expected, especially in Galicia, while in the Mediterranean, the Eastern Cantabrian and the Canary Islands will be less significant.
The main model of Meteored foresees the arrival of several fronts in the next few days, with winds from the west and southwest that will lead to rains and snowfall in middle and high levels of the peninsular mountain ranges. This weather situation makes the possibility of a cold wave in February very low. If this prognosis is confirmed, it would be the second consecutive winter without cold waves in Spain.
