In recent days the weather has given a respite to much of the country with some stability, except in the Canary Islands, where persistent rainfall has been recorded. However, throughout this week A polar jet will gain strength and direct several storms towards Spain, according to Meteored. Specifically, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) predicts that A front will enter the Peninsula this Tuesday and will leave rain, especially in the extreme north, although in the following days they will spread to other areas with snowfall in the mountains.
Strong and persistent showers are expected in the Canary archipelago this Tuesday and, in fact, Aemet has activated rain alerts on five islands: orange warning in La Palma, for accumulated 30 l/m² in one hour, and yellow in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, El Hierro and La Gomera for records of 20 l/m² in one hour. However, the rainfall will subside at the end of the day. For its part, There is a yellow alert for a storm on the coast of Cádiz.
In turn, the polar jet will take off and A front will approach the north of the peninsula, with probability of precipitation and very intense gusts of wind in Galicia and the Cantabrian area. They can also occur some intense showers around the Strait, while in inland points and mountainous areas there will be some isolated showers. In the rest, stable weather is expected with morning cloudiness in large areas that, in general, will dissipate.
The Aemet spokesperson, Rubén del Campo, has reported that temperatures will be mild for the season of the year throughout the week and will tend to decrease along a good part of the Atlantic slope. However, the mercury will rise in most Mediterranean communities: in Barcelona it will exceed 20 degrees and in Valencia, Malaga or Alicante it will be around 25.
A cyclogenesis will form on Wednesday
On Wednesday there will be a change in weather with the formation of a cyclogenesis in the north of the Cantabrian Sea, in the contact zone between polar and subtropical air, which will be driven eastward by the polar jet. The term cyclogenesis refers to the creation or formation of a storm in areas where air masses of different temperatures and density meet, generating instability.
Meteored indicates that a front associated with the low will leave abundant precipitation in the Eastern Cantabrian, Navarra and in the western sector, dividing line and French slope of the Pyrenean mountain range. It will rain weaker in Galicia and the rest of the Cantabrian slope. This day will be calmer in the Canary Islands, although a shower cannot yet be ruled out and temperatures will rise in the archipelago.
Likewise, it will snow in mountains above about 2,000 meters, with the level dropping throughout the day to about 1,500 meters. The wind will blow with intense gusts, especially on the Cantabrian and Mediterranean coasts, and there will be a decrease in daytime temperatures in much of Spain, although there will still be a temperate environment, and in the Mediterranean the thermometer will continue to be at more than 20 degrees.
Between Thursday and Friday a new, more active front will arrive, which will leave widespread and locally intense rainfall in the northern thirdspecifically in Galicia, Cantabrian slope, north of Navarra and on the French divide-slope of the Pyrenees. The rains may extend to other areas of the rest of the Peninsula, especially in the mountains, and also to the Canary Islands, with a drop in temperatures in the southern half.
The rains will spread through the center and They will barely reach the southern half, where they will be weak and isolated, as is usual in this type of situation. Temperatures will drop in much of the country, snow will fall in the main mountain systems of the northern peninsula and the wind will continue with very strong gusts in the north and east of the Peninsula.
On Friday and the weekend, The Peninsula will be exposed to the passage of Atlantic fronts. A storm will deepen rapidly, probably explosively, in the Atlantic, with rain in the north and west, affecting Galicia especially while in the rest there will be some isolated rainfall.
For the final stretch of the week, it is expected “a sharp rise in temperatures”, according to the Aemet spokesperson, which would lead to a very temperate environment for the time of year, with generally calm weather in the Canary Islands.
