Temperatures fall to 2ºC on the coast

 

Temperatures fall to 2ºC on the coast

thinkSPAIN Team 09/01/2010

Temperatures fall to 2ºC on the coast
ICE, snow and high winds continue to sweep across the whole of Spain, and traffic remains disturbed in the north and in mountainous areas.

Thousands of children were unable to go to school yesterday in Catalunya, the Comunidad Valenciana and other parts of the country.

Winds reached 100 kilometres per hour in Mallorca, and in the region of Aragón.

Temperatures on the Mediterranean coast fell to 2ºC yesterday, and dropped into minus figures during the night – at a time of year when this area usually sees temperatures of between 12ºC and 17ºC in the daytime.

Traffic is blocked on the N-320 in Gineta (Albacete) and the N-232 in Morella (Castellón), as well as on various roads in Teruel, Tarragona and León, where snow-chains are necessary.

Trains between Madrid and Barcelona have been running between 30 and 60 minutes late since yesterday.

But airports continue to operate as usual in all of Spain, with the exception of A Coruña (Galicia) where three planes have been diverted.

However, in the UK, easyJet has cancelled nine flights and British Airways have cancelled around 50 more, mostly taking off from and landing in the London airports.

In Barcelona, around 30 homeless people have had to be taken to a council-run shelter in light of the life-threateningly cold weather they faced last night.
