In the middle of a huge “train of storms”, AEMET has just pronounced the most anticipated word of winter: snow

by

The rain no respite and he’s not going to give it. Neither the rain, nor the winds, nor the snow. While the storm Herminia full of red notices the entire northwest part of the peninsula, the forecasts have us all looking at an Atlantic full of surprises. Among them, snow. What Herminia is doing. In recent days, the entire country has been revolving around Herminia. In some regions (such as Galicia) the intensity of the winds forced to divert flights and cancel trains. The worst, however, had not yet passed: this Monday will be the strongest day of the storm. 16 autonomous communities They have notices from the AEMET. Until Tuesday, Herminia will unfold a temporary more than considerable with wind, waves, rain and snow. But, as we said, Herminia is nothing more than the appetizer. According to predictive models, two new storms are going to cross the peninsula. The first will make its debut on the same Wednesday. In fact, on Tuesday a very cold air mass of polar origin will begin to enter the country. We talk about “temperatures at about 5500 meters altitude (500 hPa)”, explained Sergio Escama in Meteored. But the interesting thing is that we will notice it down here. What will we notice? The winter. Winter in its meteorologically pure state. From Wednesday the general drop in temperatures will be evident and snow will affect to the Cantabrian Mountains, the Pyrenees, the Central System, the Iberian System and other inland areas. The snow level is not clear yet, but is expected to be low. And that will be only the first of the post-Herminia storms. Because, according to AEMET modelsafter a very entertaining Wednesday-Thursday with the snow (and its problems); A busy weekend will follow. That is, the “storm train” extends as far as we can reliably see. This precision is important because, although right now there is a possibility that this second storm will be more intense than the previous ones, the time frame prevents us from being able to estimate its virulence accurately. What can we do? Luckily, The recommendations for now are the same: avoid unnecessary trips; prepare for the cold, wind and snow; and pay attention to weather and civil protection updates. We already know that this is one of the great paradoxes of snow: it is something as wonderful and fascinating as it is full of problems.

In full era of extreme heat waves and saturation, Spain has found an engine to boost its tourism: winter

by

If a while ago they had asked us (to you, to me or any) where we had to pass the vacations, we would have responded that Bali, Italy either Barcelonadepending on the tastes and budget of each one. What is almost certain is that wherever we imagine we would imagine in short sleeve, wearing shirts, with cap and sunglasses. Normal, right? Except for the Snow loversvacations has always been synonymous with summer and high temperatures. In a Spain that deal chronically with Heat waves, droughts and saturation Of his great island destinations and the Mediterranean coast that is no longer so. On vacation with a scarf. With the sector in record levels and increasingly foreigners in hotels, in Spain the flow of tourists grows throughout the year. In the cold months. And of course in the warm, the most associated with the offer of “Sun and Beach” that so well worked for years to the hospitality industry. The INE data and independent studies They show however that more and more travelers are, when planning their vacations, they look for dates in winter. What do the figures say? That in Spain tourism not only grows during the summer months. He also does it in winter. And at a good pace. Between October and December 2024 The INE counted 24.5 million travelers in their hotel occupancy survey, 35% more than during the same months of 2014 and 72% higher than the same balance of 2004. Between January and March the flow of travelers was 20.6 million, which also leaves increases of 43 and 74%, respectively. Growing more in percentage terms is “easier” when you start from low data, so it is normal for tourist increase percentages to be more bulky during the cold months than summer. Even so, the differences between them are interesting. In 2024 the INE registered 38.1 million tourists between July and September, 25% more than a decade before and 56% above 2004. In both cases they are increased increases than those of winter. The cold weight of the cold. The observatory shows that despite the Increased tourists That Spain has registered over the last years, winter has not lost weight in the sector. On the contrary, they have been reinforced as a holiday period. If in 1999 the coldest months (December-February) brought together 21.7% of the total number of travelers counted by the INE throughout the year, in 2024 that portion of the cake was somewhat larger, of 22.2%. It is not a great increase, but significant. In the specific case of foreign tourists, arriving from other countries, the increase was even greater: the contribution from winter to the annual balance passed in that case from 18% of 1999 to touch 20% in 2024. The data is extracted from the Hotel occupation survey of the INE, with which other types of accommodation exclude. When do you travel? A few days ago the economist Ángel Talavera shared in x Another study, with cross data from Oxford Economics and Aemet, in which it is appreciated how tourism grows at a good pace in winter and autumn, even more than during the “peak” summer weeks. Reading is the same: in a stage of general tourism growth, new travelers who move in Spain do not focus only on the warmest months. They also look at the scarf months. In favor of the flow of tourists in winter he has played The bet of some Spanish cities for Christmas, especially cities such as Madrid, Badalona or Vigo, which have made it one of its main tourist claims. This year the Galician city even launched a promotional campaign with posters in New YorkLondon, Rome or Paris in which he presumed from his Christmas decoration. Not everything is positive factors. Winter tourism has had to deal with The crisis of skiing stations, conditioned (and in many cases forced to reinvent themselves) Before snow shortage and “lightning” seasons. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Great ally to great threat. The data collected by the INE and Oxford Economics are interesting because they are framed in a broader phenomenon and that over recent years have analyzed other organisms, such as European Travel Commission (Etc) or Caixabanck Researchsand that can also be followed with the help of The international press: The heat that for decades served as an ally to the Spanish tourism sector and made Spain a destination coveted by citizens of countries more north now threatens to become an enemy. The reason is simple. Between heat waves and chronified droughts, added to the saturation of Great destinations of the Mediterranean or the Canary Islandsforeign travelers have begun to look with more temperate alternatives. Rethinking the holidays. The data From etc. they are revealing: 33.7% of Europeans avoid places where they are exposed to extreme meteorological phenomena, such as heat waves, and 17.3% directly discards the regions in which mercury can rise too much during Your trips. Moreover, 8.5% of respondents recognize that they have begun to change the months in which they travel. And etc is not the only one to detect that trend. The United Kingdom Tourist Operators Association (ABTA) suggests That the months of “middle season”, such as October, May or June (either icy or achicharrantes) have become the most popular among the British who plan a vacation abroad. One and no more. The relationship between the thermometer and tourism was analyzed a while ago CaixaBank Researchs in A broad study in which he slid another interesting idea: foreign visitors who have to live a heat wave during their vacations are less likely to repeat destiny. To be more precise and in the case of Spain, its willingness to return falls from 14 to 12.1%. And that is the average. The percentage varies between nationalities. Americans, for example, do not seem willing to sweat during their vacations. Among those who have touched a heat wave in Spain the inclination to repeat fate falls 42.5%. Even the foreign press has criticized Sometimes … Read more

Winter storm spreads across southern US with ice and snow

by

NEW ORLEANS— A massive storm of snow, sleet and freezing rain hit the southern United States on Wednesday, setting new records for snowfall and exposing the region to unaccustomed winter joys and dangers. From Texas and extending south to Florida and the North Carolina coast, snow and sleet caused ice accumulation in cities New Orleans, Atlanta and Jacksonville, Florida. In Alabama, the weight of the snow caused the dome of the Mobile Civic Center to collapse, which is scheduled for demolition to make way for a new arena for sporting events. At least eight deaths were attributed to the storm as temperatures settled below freezing with even colder wind chills. The arctic air also turned much of the north-central and eastern parts of the country into a freezer, causing hundreds of flights to be cancelled. Government offices remained closed, as did classrooms for more than a million students who are more accustomed to hurricane evacuations than snow days. New Englanders know what to do on days like these: Terry Fraser of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, didn’t have his windshield snow removal tool with him when he went out to visit his granddaughter in Brunswick, Georgia, so he used the card from a discount store to remove snow and ice from his rental van in a frozen hotel parking lot. “This is what we do up north when you don’t have a scraper,” Fraser said. “Hey, it works.” In Tallahassee, Florida, the Holmes family set their alarms for the early hours of Wednesday and headed out in search of a snow-covered slope before it melted. Layla, 9, and Rawley, 12, used what they had: their surfboards. “You have to be creative in Florida!” said mom, Alicia Holmes. Anchorage wants its snow backThe record 10 inches (25 centimeters) of snowfall in New Orleans more than doubled the snowfall Anchorage, Alaska, has received since early December, the National Weather Service said. “We would like our snow back,” the weather service office in Anchorage joked in a post on the social network X. “Or at least some King Cake in return.” Anchorage was also warmer Wednesday morning than New Orleans, Atlanta, Jacksonville or Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the weather service. Dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills are forecast to persist in the southern region of the country on Thursday morning, with widespread frost in some places through the weekend, the weather service said. The thermometer is expected to return above freezing on Thursday in places such as New Orleans, and by Friday in Tallahassee and the coast of the Carolinas. Interstate highway closures Snow and ice also forced road closures, including a several-mile stretch of Interstate 10. Causeways and bridges crossing the Louisiana marshes were particularly prone to frost. “Louisiana, if you can, just hang in there,” Gov. Jeff Landry said, warning that Tuesday’s “magical” snow day would turn dangerous Wednesday as conditions worsened. In Charleston, South Carolina, it took crews nearly 16 hours to reopen traffic along the massive 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) Ravenel Bridge, which carries about 100,000 vehicles a day. Icy conditions plagued drivers in Georgia, where authorities responded to more than 1,000 calls for help. Who needs a beach when there’s snow?Some people took advantage of the Ravenel Bridge’s steep overpasses and turned them into makeshift sledding tracks. On the Outer Banks, children slid down snow-covered sand dunes near where the Wright Brothers made their first flight, while adults attempted to navigate waist-deep drifts of snow at Kitty’s Pier. Hawk. One ferry system suspended service between the barrier islands. “Maybe every 10 years we get a good snowfall like this,” said Ryan Thibodeau, 38, co-owner of Carolina Designs Realty, a vacation rental company. The storm that triggered the first blizzard warnings for some locations along the Texas and Louisiana coast also blanketed the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, and Pensacola Beach, Florida. Snow covering the South Carolina sand from Hilton Head to Myrtle Beach created more opportunities to convert surf gear into sleds. “It didn’t have the speed of a sled,” Alex Spiotta said as his family rode a boogie board on the Isle of Palms, South Carolina. “But in the south, you have to use whatever you have.” Other things that were used as sleds were: a laundry basket in Montgomery, Alabama; a pool tube in Houston; and kayaks, cardboard boxes and alligator inflatables on the Mississippi River levees in Louisiana. A vehicle was dragging a skier down a street in Pensacola, Florida. In Metairie, Louisiana, several nuns were having fun throwing snowballs at a priest. Flight cancellations and fatalitiesNearly 2,000 flights were canceled in the United States and another 2,300 were postponed as of midday Wednesday, according to the website FlightAware.com. The unprecedented demand for electricity to stay warm was met by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which provides power to more than 10 million customers in seven states, and PJM Interconnection, which operates the 13-state grid. But more than 100,000 families were without power in the Mid-Atlantic region Wednesday morning, according to the website PowerOutage.us. The Texas Department of Safety and Security reported that five people were killed early Tuesday when a tractor-trailer crashed into other vehicles on an icy highway southwest of San Antonio. Two people died from the cold in Austin, Texas, where emergency crews responded to more than a dozen reports of “cold exposure.” In Georgia, authorities said one person died of hypothermia. And yet the planet is warmingIn Southern California, where fires have killed at least 28 people and consumed thousands of homes, Santa Ana winds and arid conditions worsened by climate change continued to raise concerns. Although the United States, which covers approximately 2% of the planet’s land surface, experiences unusually low temperatures, the planet as a whole sets heat records. So far in 2025, the first 20 hottest days of a year on record have been experienced, according to the European climate service Copernicus, leaving last year’s mark behind, according to the data, which goes back to 1940. So far this year, U.S. … Read more
