The isolated depression at high levels (DANA) that already affects parts of the east and south of Spain will bring precipitation this Thursday in almost the entire country, which will be strong or persistent in western Andalusia, in the lower Ebro and in areas of the Mediterranean, although they are not ruled out in the Central System, according to the forecasts of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
AEMET has activated warnings of different levels in five autonomous communities, and this morning it has lowered the alert level in Andalusia and the Valencian Community, where the warnings are now orange. In areas of Castilla y León, Extremadura and Galicia there are yellow notices. In the case of Galicia, the warning is activated by coastal winds in A Coruña, up to 74 kilometers per hour.
In the Valencian Community, the three provinces have activated orange level warnings – significant risk – due to rainfall. The most significant case is that of the coast of Valencia, where an accumulated precipitation in 12 hours of 100 millimeters is expected. AEMET has already deactivated the red alert (extreme risk) for this area, where the maximum level warning has been maintained during the early hours of the morning.
“The worst of this second DANA has passed. We lowered the warning to ORANGE on the coast of Valencia and it was raised to ORANGE on the northern coast of Alicante, where it is now raining heavily on the beaches of Dénia,” the AEMET account of the Valencian Community reported.
In Andalusia, Málaga is also already out of warning, after this Wednesday it registered heavy flooding that caused thousands of evictionsclosures of health centers and suspension of transportation. Now the risk moves westward, and the provinces under orange warning are Huelva, Cádiz and Seville, with accumulated rainfall in 12 hours of up to 80 mm in the case of some regions of Huelva. Almería and Granada are on yellow notice.
