The first week of February will be marked by atmospheric stability and a progressive thermal descent that could be accentuated over the weekend With the arrival of cold air from east of Europe, a phenomenon that some media have compared with the Historical “East Beast” of 2018.
During the first days of the week, dry and stable time will predominate, with clear skies and cold temperatures at dawn. Frost are expected in large areas of the interior, with minimal up to -4 ºC on the northern plateau and the eastern interior, although during the afternoon the atmosphere will be softer.
This Monday, the weather will be unstable in southern Andalusia, with tormentous showers in the Strait and the province of Malaga, in addition to snowfall in the Betic systems above 1,200 meters. In other parts of the southern peninsula and in the Balearic Islands, the showers could fall more sporadically, while in the rest of the country, clear skies and rising daytime temperatures will predominate.
He Tuesday and Wednesday They will be a calm time days, with few rains and some morning mists inside. Night temperatures will remain cold, with frosts in large part of the north and east of the Peninsula, with records of between -2 and -4ºC in cities of the northern plateau or of the eastern interior. For the day, in general the 10 to 15ºC will be exceeded and the 18ºC will be around at points of the Mediterranean.
Thursday arrives changes
He Thursday a slight change will begin to be noticed, With the possible entry of a mass of cold air from interior of Europewhich could cause a sharp decrease in temperatures on Friday and the weekend, especially in the northern peninsular half.
If this irruption of cold air is confirmed, the weekend could bring intense frosts, with minimal below -5 ºC in moors of the center and mountain areas, and maximums that would not exceed 8 ºC in large regions of the north and center. There is uncertainty in terms of rainfall and although it does not seem that in principle they will affect many areas, they are more likely in the peninsular north, Mediterranean area and in the Balearic Islands.
Great Scandinavian block
From Meteored they indicate that the most probable scenario today is that a large Scandinavian block can channel from this to west for its southern flank A mass of continental polar or arctic air that would cross the European continent until reaching the peninsula and the Balearic Islands during Saturdaycausing a thermal downturn practically generalized.
Although he has admitted that it will be quite cold in the continent, He has denied that a new ‘East Beast’ will arrivein reference to the headlines of some British media that are comparing the next irruption of cold air with that of February 2018 that generated a great temporal of cold and snow in the British islands.
According to Biener, all this will open the door to probable changes of time in Spain. Specifically, talk about Disguncorns of Vaguadas, Danas or Small Cold storms. One of these airbags could approach the west-northwest peninsular between Thursday and Friday, leaving rains and snowfall in the Atlantic aspect, to be quickly reabsorbed by a great retrograde trough that would advance in Europe. The expert indicates that the evolution of these cold disagreements and the possible cycloogenesis that can occur in the Mediterranean
