A CHILLY front from north-western Scandinavia will bring a wintery start to spring across the whole of the top half of mainland Spain, snow in inland areas and a significant temperature drop everywhere else, according to weathermen.

After several weeks of persistent, and often heavy, rain in much of the country, particularly the coasts, and a temperature 'real-feel' below what would normally be experienced at this time of year – even though actual thermometer figures have been about average or above – means the end of winter in the run-up to the spring equinox on March 21 has not felt much like an awakening of dewy flowers and watery sunshine, but more like deep autumn.
And this is set to continue for a while, or even get colder and more winterlike, says the State meteorological agency, AEMET.
What it calls a 'Scandinavian Superwave' will cause temperatures to fall by up to 15ºC, and this weekend will bring 'full-blown winter early mornings' to everywhere from Madrid to the north coast.
Meteored, another key weather network, says: “The air from the Arctic will come right up to your front door.”
The 'Scandinavian Superwave' is set to embrace the whole of continental Europe, and to enter Spain via the Atlantic and across the Pyrénées, where thick snow is expected.
