#ElTiempoHoy El día de hoy no tendrá nada que ver con el de ayer: de regreso a las temperaturas propias del invierno con 10ºC menos en zonas del interior. En muchas ciudades no llegarán ni a los 13ºC. Lluvias y tormentas en toda la mitad norte. Avisos en la Ibérica. pic.twitter.com/0xG47EQC9f — Eltiempo.es (@ElTiempoes) April 19, 2022

Large swathes of the interior inland of Valencia and Catalonia will experience similar conditions with strong winds, rain and snow on the high ground. The weather in these areas is expected to clear by Thursday.
Strong winds and waves of up to 75 km/h are expected on Tuesday and Wednesday, clearing on Thursday.
The majority of Spain will see temperatures fall sharply as the wind, rain and snow move in. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday could see most of the interior struggle to reach double figures with coastal regions experiencing single digit temperatures overnight. During the day temperatures along the cost should reach the mid-teens, warming up from the south on Thursday.
So for this week it is a case of more rain, wind and snow before temperatures begin to warm up.
