Strange weather here on the meseta - in Calzadilla right now. Blue sky and sun. Temperature moderate if you are out of the wind. But the wind is fierce and coming straight from the west Makes for a huge wind chill effect and I am walking dressed like the Michelin Man in mourning!

Just saw TV coverage of the snow in Roncesvalles this morning. Glad I passed through a couple of weeks ago! Very windy out on the meseta this morning.

Isn't it almost always (Although I can't say about summer as I would never walk in that heat)

Had just one day of very light snow in December, up near the Montes de Oca, only very slightly more than in your pic.

But I did see the snow up on the Pyrenees, when I was near Lourdes last week.

On the French side at lower altitudes, it was rather cold rain instead.
 
There was light snow in Pamplona overnight, not expected till later - but who is in charge? Name all the apps, and see which one is the best!!!

The snow is melting here, and the sky is a wonderful blue...time to go train hiking...before the next rain and snow fall.

No - I walked the Meseta twice in August and I would have liked a little more cooling wind, but I loved walking in the calmness and the shivering heat

is that shimmering or shivering? Could dance to the shimmy in my youth but not the shivering !

This will be very impressionistic, but the strange winds I came across in the past couple of months seemed to be either sirocco or Atlantic.

There was a very strange December sirocco in La Rioja and Navarra.

Here now at home, the current wind feels like a combination of both.
 
I'm repeating myself, but it is very strange.

There's a sirocco wind here, on the French Riviera, but it's a cold one.

Glorious blue Mediterranean skies and shining sun, but a cold southern wind ??!?

But well ; strange sirocco, in La Rioja and here, my impression is that 2023 will be hot and dry.
