Spain is facing severe weather conditions, with AEMET issuing orange alerts for storms, hail, and possible snow on higher ground, particularly affecting popular areas like Mallorca and Barcelona. This unusual spring weather is attributed to a low-pressure system from the Atlantic and a cold air mass over the Iberian Peninsula, causing heavy rain and thunderstorms that may persist into next week. In contrast, the UK is enjoying sunny weather with temperatures reaching up to 27°C, though some thunderstorms are expected over the weekend.
