As the Holy Week progresses, the fluctuating weather patterns could affect outdoor activities, prompting residents to stay informed about the latest forecasts and plan accordingly.
The AEMET has indicated that the unstable weather during this period is due to the passage of Atlantic storm fronts and a drop in temperatures, which will be notably colder than usual for this time of year. The forecast includes the possibility of weak frosts in some areas, particularly in the northern regions, and a significant drop in the snow level from 1,600-1,800 meters in the morning to 1,200-1,400 meters later in the day.
As the week continues, the forecast remains uncertain for the latter part of the week, with indications that rain could return in various regions, particularly on Friday. The AEMET spokesperson has noted that while the weather may stabilize temporarily, the approach of another storm could lead to more widespread precipitation.
In summary, residents of Zaragoza and surrounding areas should prepare for a week marked by variable weather, with the potential for rain and cooler temperatures, especially at the beginning of the week. As the Holy Week unfolds, it is advisable to keep an eye on weather updates and adjust plans accordingly.
