The atmosphere will tend to become unstable in the Mediterranean area on Thursday to gain stability throughout Friday and Saturday

The abrupt change in temperatures will be noticed from Friday, when minimum temperatures of 2 degrees and maximums of 12 degrees will be recorded, which means a difference between 3 and 6 degrees with respect to these days. As of Monday, temperatures will recover the values of these first days of January.
