Depression Nelson brings rain, thunderstorms and snow on Easter

Depression Nelson will bring rain, thunderstorms, wind and snow until Easter Sunday, reports the IPMA. The weather is expected to worsen this Wednesday.

If you expected the long weekend to be synonymous with sunny days, you will be disappointed.

Nelson depression, which stretches from Iceland to the Madeira regionbrings with it “persistent precipitation, sometimes heavy and accompanied by thunderstorms” and, at least, until Sunday.

At the highest points, snowfall is expected and, according to IPMA, it may occur – in some periods – below 1000 meters of altitude.

The temperatures will not undergo major changes during the week. However, the minimum is expected to rise this Wednesday, falling again on Friday.

“Maximum temperatures will be recorded between 15 and 20°C in the South region, between 10 and 15°C in most of the North and Center, and lower in the northeast of Trás-os-Montes and in the highlands, where on several days they should not exceed 10°C . Minimum temperatures should be between 5 and 10°C in a large part of the territory, in some places in the North and Central interior between 0 and 5°C, and may be occasionally lower in the highlands.”
