Overview
- Spain’s AEMET places every region except Extremadura and the Canary Islands under yellow or orange alerts for rain, snow, low temperatures and coastal hazards today.
- Forecasts cite strong and persistent precipitation in parts of the center and southeast, thunderstorms near the Alborán area and Murcia, and snow levels dropping to roughly 300–600 meters in several inland zones.
- Widespread frost is expected across the interior with notable temperature declines, and coastal warnings cover Asturias, the Balearic Islands, Girona, Galicia, Murcia and Alicante, with some orange-level risk.
- In Asturias, organizers moved Oviedo’s Epiphany parade earlier, with AEMET projecting afternoon and evening storms, light rain turning to snow late in places, and avalanche risk highlighted in the Picos de Europa.
- Mexico’s SMN reports Cold Front No. 26 entering the north and northeast alongside a second front in the northwest, bringing strong wind gusts, marked cooling, showers in Baja California, Michoacán, Guerrero and Oaxaca, isolated rain in Jalisco, Colima and Chiapas, highs of 35–40 °C in parts of the west and mountain minima down to −10 to −5 °C with frost.
