The first snowflakes arrive in the Basque Country

The cold air and the precipitation of the Arctic have come together, and the forests, which have not yet lost their autumn colour, have been dressed in white sheets, especially above 500 meters, and many villages, especially in the vicinity of the Ultzama or Urbasa, have become white.

Main points of attention

All the ports of the ACV are still open, but in Herrera, Opakua and Orduña it is snowing.   
In the Basque Country, the yellow snow warning is in place: according to forecasts, it will fall to 500-700 meters.   
There is also yellow snow warning in Navarre: the surroundings of Ultzama or Urbasa are whitened.  

Winter weather will get worse in the next few hours

The rainfall will be very plentiful in the northern half, with storms and hail in the afternoon of the day, and the snow level will drop to 500-700 meters at the end of the day, along with the most abundant rainfall.
