Hello all:

During today and tomorrow, there will be an "explosive cyglogenesis" (does this expression even exist in English?) affeting the NW part of the Peninsula, specially Galicia and León. This means that heavy rain and strong winds are expected (by strong I mean winds of up to 100 km/h in some zones).

For those pilgrims that are on the road, please beware.
