After a week spent in water in much of Spain, it seems that the weather is not going to cooperate anymore. With a drought that does not let up, Saturday, February 17th is almost without rain, something that complicates the situation even more. Thus, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has indicated that the day will be quite calm, without many surprises in the sky: sun and clouds moving around without letting almost any water fall.
According to Aemet, Saturday is shaping up to be an “anticyclonic” day. This means that, in most parts of the country, the weather will be stable and clouds, if they appear, will not result in rain.
However, there is a but in this story: in the eastern Cantabrian Sea, the Pyrenees, eastern Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, the day will start with more clouds than in the rest of Spain. There could even be a drop or flake of snow if you are above 1,200 meters in the Pyrenees, although the day promises to clear as it progresses.
Galicia will also have its share of cloudiness, especially due to the arrival of a front that could leave some weak and sporadic rains in the west of the community. But in general, the rains that appear will be weak and will remain in very specific areas of the country.
On Sunday, February 18, however, things change a little. A front is approaching that this time will bring rain, although only to the north of the peninsula. Dense clouds are expected to cover this area, moving from west to east, and especially wet the north of Galicia, the Cantabrian slope, the upper Ebro and the western Pyrenees. In addition, snow could appear at levels between 1,600 and 2,000 meters.
For the rest of Spain, the trend of slightly cloudy skies or only adorned with some high clouds is expected to continue on Sunday. Therefore, the trend of little rain at the national level will continue in force.
