The mercury in January will hit an average of minus one degree or higher, with many clear and dry days. However, if high continental pressure subsists, the temperature could drop substantially.
 
February is likely to see big changes in temperature due to the influence of continental and migratory anticyclones. The temperature will average one-point-one degrees or above.
