Leaving Pamplona, days are often grey and damp, with drizzle or steady light rain and only short clearer spells. Cold outbreaks turn some of these showers to sleet or snow even at modest elevations, and a few bursts can be quite heavy. As you move through Irurtzun toward Altsasu, the chance of snow increases and precipitation toggles between rain and snow depending on the hour. Temperatures typically sit in the single digits by day with nights around freezing.
Crossing into Álava around Salvatierra, mornings can start frosty under low cloud, then open to brief sunny slots before the next front. Showers are frequent and often flip to snow in colder spells, with occasional sleet or freezing rain. Around Vitoria, wet spells bring periods of steady rain punctuated by drier gaps, while snow is still possible on the chillier days. Days are mostly cool in the single digits to low teens, with nights near or below freezing.
At La Puebla de Arganzón and Miranda de Ebro the pattern stays unsettled: plenty of overcast, outbreaks of rain, and at times icy precipitation during colder surges. In the narrows around Sobrón, snow episodes can be stronger, though short brighter interludes appear between passing systems.
Through Quintana Martín Galíndez and Trespaderne the sky often remains grey with intermittent light rain or drizzle; snow showers linger on nearby hills and can reach the valley during colder pulses. Continuing via Valdivielso and on to Pesquera de Ebro and Orbaneja del Castillo, the weather alternates between showery periods and calm, dry spells. By day it stays cool, occasionally nudging into the low teens in milder breaks, with nights close to freezing.
Entering Cantabria around Polientes, conditions remain changeable with a lot of cloud and passing drizzle or light rain. Colder snaps still bring snow at times, especially near higher ground, but there are also windows of brighter, milder weather toward Villanueva de la Nía and Aguilar de Campoo. Showers continue to come and go, with dry pauses in between. Days are generally cool, sometimes mild in sunny spells, and nights hover near freezing.
