The State Meteorological Agency has warned of the arrival of a storm that could leave heavy, “extensive and persistent” rain this week in the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands starting on Tuesday. This is the “most likely” scenario and will last until Wednesday and Thursday, according to a statement issued this Sunday.
The AEMET has thus issued this notice that affects the region that is still suffering the effects of the DANA of last October 29, which has already left more than 200 fatalities and countless material damages. The State Agency attributes the new storm to the arrival of a mass of cold air that has moved from northern Europe and will reach the peninsula late on Tuesday.
“It is likely that it will end up isolating itself as a DANA or a cold storm around the Mediterranean or the south of the peninsula starting on Wednesday the 13th, remaining in our environment until Saturday the 16th,” states the AEMET statement.
The 112 Emergency Center of the Valencian Community has also echoed the AEMET announcement and has reported through /m2, and locally with more than 200 l/m2”.
The State Agency adds that the increase in instability that this storm will cause will also be accompanied by an entry of humid air from the Mediterranean, “so it is likely that strong and persistent rainfall will occur” both in areas of the Balearic Islands and on the slopes. Mediterranean.
It is not ruled out that the storm will leave heavy rainfall in parts of the Cantabrian Sea in the center of the peninsula, as well as snow in the mountainous systems. The AEMET experts also assure that “there is a wide uncertainty” regarding the final position of this storm and, consequently, “the distribution and amount of precipitation.”
The chronology of the storm
Tuesday 12: The most probable scenario with which the AEMET is working is that rainfall in the Mediterranean area begins on Tuesday, with greater probability in the south of the Balearic archipelago, especially in the Pitiusas, without ruling out other points on the Mediterranean coast. It is also likely that they will occur in the Cantabrian Sea and the north of the Pyrenees, with snow in mountain areas.
Wednesday the 13th. Starting on Wednesday, it is likely that precipitation will spread across a good part of the Peninsula, in the form of snow in the mountain systems, although the levels would gradually rise.
“Within the uncertainty,” says the AEMET, on this day they are expected to be more intense and persistent in parts of the Balearic Islands and the Mediterranean slope, especially north of Cape La Nao at the beginning and, later, in the north of the Valencian Community and the coasts and pre-coastal areas of Catalonia and, with less probability, on the Andalusian Mediterranean coast. It is not ruled out that strong and persistent rainfall may also occur in parts of Murcia, the Cantabrian Sea and the center of the peninsula.
Saturday 16: It is likely that from this day onwards, rainfall will begin to lose intensity in the Mediterranean area and move to the Atlantic slope, although the AEMET reiterates that the uncertainty about the evolution of the episode is “very high.”
