A cold front causes snowfalls and wintry conditions in Segovia
The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) confirms the arrival of a cold frontal system in the province of Segovia. This phenomenon generates a wintry weather scenario with snowfalls in the mountain areas and a widespread drop in temperatures. ❄️
Current weather panorama
The active front places the snow level near 900 meters, which means that localities at higher elevations may accumulate several centimeters. In the rest of the territory, cold weather prevails, with minimum temperatures that favor nighttime frosts in the interior. Precipitations are concentrated in the mountains.
Main conditions:- Snowfalls in higher altitude areas, especially in the mountains.
- Snow level around 900 meters.
- Low temperatures with frequent frosts at night and dawn.
Meteorological models indicate that this wintry weather situation will persist for the coming days.
Forecast and evolution
The AEMET anticipates that the cold will persist. Minimum values are expected to continue dropping, potentially reaching up to five degrees below zero in points of the Duero Valley. Precipitations, although weak and scattered, will be persistent, possibly as snow or rain. Light northerly winds will accentuate the feeling of cold.
Essential precaution measures:- Exercise extreme caution when driving on mountain roads due to ice risk.
- Check the status of boilers and heating systems to avoid problems.
- Protect outdoor pipes to prevent them from freezing and bursting.
Advice for the population
Facing the pronounced temperature drop, authorities urge taking measures. For traveling on secondary or mountain roads, it is essential to carry chains or winter tires and check road conditions. Vulnerable people, such as the elderly or sick, are advised to limit their exposure to intense cold and maintain an adequate temperature at home. While some enjoy the snowy landscape, others worry about the proper functioning of heating. 🏠
