During the next couple of days, seven communities are on alert for snow, these being Andalucía, Madrid, Cataluña, Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha, Comunidad Valenciana and Murcia.
Strong winds are also forecast for Galicia and the Mediterranean area, particularly the Baleares.
The Protección Civil has issued guidelines for those in affected areas:
If road travel is necessary, keep up to date with the latest forecasts, be on the lookout for sheet ice, make sure the vehicle is in good working order, make sure the petrol tank is full and that you have snow chains in the car.
Wear warm clothes and carry a mobile phone. If your car breaks down in the snow, remain in the car with the heater on but refreshing the air periodically. If in an isolated area, remain in the vehicle until assistance arrives.
