First Snowfall of The Season Over the Pyrenees

Handout photo dated on November 9, 2025 shows The Pyrenees are an important ecological corridor stretching between France and Spain, connecting Atlantic and Mediterranean ecosystems across a rugged mountain landscape. The mountain range supports high-altitude grasslands, ancient forests, and glacial valleys, providing habitat for endemic species. The arrival of snow marks the beginning of the alpine winter and plays a key role in regional water storage. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 9 November 2025, shows fresh snowfall above 1,900 metres, while lower elevations remain in shades of green and brown. This snowfall followed an Atlantic front, which brought up to 12 cm of snow and more than 40 l/m² of rain to parts of Spain. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-3 imagery via ABACAPRESS.COM

Snowfalls In Spain

Removal of snow accumulated on roads and cars in Formigal after the arrival of a storm that moves a mass of arctic air to the Iberian Peninsula, December 9, 2024, in Huesca, Aragon (Spain). The entry of a mass of arctic air through the north of the Peninsula is leaving heavy snowfall and strong gusts of extremely cold wind in the Aragonese Pyrenees and complicates traffic on the roads of the province.
