The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) warns that a mass of cold air of Arctic origin will reach Ibiza and Formentera, bringing a drop in temperatures from this Wednesday.
The agency has issued a special warning for snowfall below 600 metres in the northern third of the peninsula, from Thursday until late Friday. At the same time, maximum temperatures are expected to remain below 10 degrees in large areas of the country.
In Ibiza, the snow level will be around 1,400 metres and will gradually drop over the week to 600 metres on Friday, which is forecast to be the coldest day, according to Aemet.
From Saturday afternoon, the most likely scenario is the arrival of warmer Atlantic air, leading to a rise in temperatures.
