[1] Mònica López graduated with a licentiate in Physics of the Earth [es] and the Cosmos in 1997 from the University of Barcelona.

After passing through Channel 33, López became part of the TV3 meteorology team where, from 23 April 2004 to 27 June 2008, she was a meteorologist for the morning program Els matins [es].

On 1 July 2008, she joined RTVE to be the director of its meteorology department and weather presenter on TVE's Telediario 2, replacing José Antonio Maldonado [es].

[3] Together with the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET), she carried out a project in collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization within the field of communication: the video in Spanish from the series "El tiempo en 2050", in which an area's weather is simulated over the span of 35 years.

[4] Despite the fact that an independent report commissioned by TVE from the auditor KPMG concluded that public channels were not used for private purposes,[5] on 31 July 2014, López was suspended from work and salary for 20 days for having "transgressed contractual good faith" with RTVE, having formed, together with Martín Barreiro Carreira [es], Albert Martínez Bobe, Albert Barniol Gil [es], David Torres Ayala, Ana Mariño López, and Marta Barniol Gil (three of whom were her colleagues), a limited company with no mercantile activity since its inception.
