Cloudy skies along the coast and fog inland make for a very calm end to the year

The weather at the end of 2025 will be different from the last few weeks, which have been marked by rain and snow. This Tuesday, we returned to the typical anticyclonic conditions, with sunshine across much of the country and persistent fog in inland areas. This same pattern will continue into Wednesday, although the tail end of the high-pressure system will also bring some cloud cover to the coast and the central pre-coastal region. A stable and pleasant end to the year will give us a break before a possible change in the weather coinciding with the arrival of the Three Kings.

Wednesday: Cold weather and a risk of some showers

The weather will remain fairly stable heading into Wednesday, with fog again in inland areas during the morning and cloud formation along parts of the central coast, which could even bring a few isolated, light showers. The wind will weaken and become less intense in the far reaches of the region on Tuesday, and temperatures will drop slightly, both day and night. This temperature decrease will result in highs ranging between 11°C and 14°C along the coast and pre-coastal areas, and between 6°C and 9°C in the rest of the interior, with lows well below freezing in the Pyrenean valleys.

New Year's Eve: More frosts inland

We'll start the year with very stable weather and few changes, with a cold and typical climate for this time of year. There will be some inland fog, but also intervals of high and mid-level clouds moving from west to east, leaving the sky partly cloudy in some areas. The minimum temperature will drop even further, and frost will reach more inland regions, with cold temperatures also expected along the coast. Maximum temperatures will also be quite low, with little sunshine to provide warmth during the middle of the day.

Waiting for a possible cold front to accompany the Three Kings

The calm weather that has followed the recent easterly winds could be the prelude to a cold snap arriving from January 5th onwards, bringing noticeably colder temperatures and widespread frosts across the western half of the European continent. The two main weather models, European and American, indicate that this cold front will be accompanied by snow at low elevations, including in Spain, but this possibility cannot yet be confirmed, both due to the number of days remaining and the complexity of forecasting snow at low elevations in a Mediterranean country, where many factors come into play.
