The region of Spain as Spain and Portugal have rarely encountered a cold wave in the history of the two countries with the amount of snow that had not been recorded for half a century and minimum in the polar regions. This Saturday of Madrid is historic and impressive with 50 to 70 cm of snow in some places.
Philomena cooled by the storm and the stem of snow which brought snow and caused a drop in temperature from the beginning of the week. The Spanish Meteorological Agency (Emmet) issued a red alert for areas in Madrid, Guadalajara, Quenca, Albacete, Toledo and Valencia.
The Meteorological Institute in the region forecast that 20 cm of snow will accumulate in 24 hours. In some parts of the country, such as the Ebro Valley, snow can reach up to half a meter.
With alerts for more than half the country snow on Friday and Saturday, the weather agency AEMET described the situation as “extraordinary” and “probably historic”.
