Spain suffered about 30 hours of heavy snow. What is the reason for the snowfall?

202 1 1 8, many places in Spain were hit by snowstorms. Hundreds of roads have been affected and cannot be driven. And because of the snowstorm, most airports in Madrid were closed and traffic was paralyzed. Madrid is experiencing the worst storm, and the roads are covered with snow, making it difficult for people to travel. Moreover, meteorologists predict that the temperature in Madrid will remain below zero in the past week.

The authorities said that residents should reduce outdoor activities during the storm, make full preparations for cold and warmth, and reserve enough water and food. During the snowstorm, the most dangerous thing is the traffic accident. The rare snowstorm in Spain caused severe freezing injury to cattle and sheep, and snowstorms and strong winds also caused traffic jams and power communication interruptions. It interferes with the normal production and living order of the people and endangers the lives and property of local residents. Moreover, La Liga scheduled for the 9th was postponed due to bad weather.

After the water vapor in the atmosphere falls to the ground, it will directly condense or the water droplets will directly solidify into snow. Snow is a form of solid water. When the temperature in the atmosphere is too low, water droplets form ice crystals and fall to the ground, becoming snowflakes. The cause of snowfall climate is related to the latitude position, land and sea position and terrain difference in this area.

As the capital of Spain, Madrid is the largest city in Spain. Madrid is located in the middle of Libya Peninsula, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean in the north. Madrid is located in the alpine mountains and belongs to the temperate continental climate. The formation of snowfall may also be affected by ocean currents. The North Atlantic Warm Current is the most powerful warm current in the North Atlantic, which plays a role in warming and humidifying the area around Spain. Due to global warming, glaciers near the North Pole melt and the circulation system of warm current slows down, so the weakening of the North Atlantic warm current will inevitably lead to a sudden drop in the temperature in Europe. The temperature in Madrid is generally low in 1 month, and sufficient water vapor ensures the formation of snowfall.
