After a weekend of heat, haze and mud rain, the week starts with precipitation, especially in the northern half of the peninsula, and with decreasing temperatures, according to the forecast of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).

The heaviest rainfall will be in Pyrenees, Cantabrian Sea and Galiciawhere they could become persistent in its western half, and with the probability of also affecting the rest of the regions in the last few hours.
In addition, it will snow in the mountains of the extreme north, with a level above 2000 meters dropping to 1400/1800 meters in the Pyrenees and 900/1200 meters in the rest, with possible significant accumulations in the Cantabrian.

The minimums will not experience major changes in the Canary Islands and Levante, decreasing in the rest, notably in large inland areas of the northern half of the peninsula. Light frosts are expected in northern mountains.
