According to Rubén Del Campo, spokesperson for the AEMET, The real turning point will come on Tuesday, when the “definitive change” in time occurs.: the entry of a cold air mass of northern origin that will cause a more pronounced drop in temperatures and the appearance of extensive frosts in much of the interior.
Friday of widespread rain
Claudia will leave abundant rains today in the area around the Central System and also in large areas of the Peninsula. The rainfall will be intense, strong and persistent in the area of the north of Cáceres and south of Ávila, south of Salamanca, west and south of Andalusia, where the rains will be stormy and in the Pyrenees.

Western Galicia, Andalusia, the Central System and areas north of Cáceres and south of Ávila and Salamanca will once again receive intense rains, that could increase the flow of the rivers after several days of accumulation. The snow level will be above 2,000 meters and temperatures will drop slightly, although the environment will remain mild in the Cantabrian and Mediterranean Seas, where temperatures will exceed 22ºC.
