Andorra Braces for Snowy Weekend as Atlantic Front Nears

Andorra faces a shift in weather this weekend as an Atlantic front approaches, bringing increased cloud cover and potential snowfall, particularly on Saturday.

From Friday, cloudiness will build notably across the country, with light snow flurries possible at higher elevations. Minimum temperatures are forecast to drop to -2°C in Andorra la Vella, -5°C at 1,500 metres, and -7°C at Pas de la Casa. Daytime highs will struggle to exceed 5°C in the capital, 4°C at mid-altitudes, and remain negative at -3°C in high areas. Winds will stay light, generally from the south or southwest, while the snow level hovers around 1,700 metres—keeping ski resorts within range of any solid precipitation.

Saturday looks cloudier still, with abundant cover and a higher chance of snow starting from the south and east, potentially intensifying through the day. This could stem from an isolated disturbance forming over the Iberian Peninsula, though its development remains uncertain. Temperatures will hold steady, with overnight lows between -1°C and -7°C depending on altitude. Highs may edge up slightly to 6°C in Andorra la Vella, but stay at -4°C in Pas de la Casa. The snow level could rise marginally to about 1,800 metres, but resorts should still see possible falls.

Forecasters note the front's peak effects on Saturday, urging caution for drivers and outdoor plans in higher zones. Updates may follow as the system evolves.
