A DANA that makes an appearance again
Spain is immersed in a complex meteorological episode due to the arrival of an Isolated High Level Depression (DANA), which has already caused problems recently in Valencia. Now, this phenomenon is returning to the territory, causing great concern among the authorities.
Forecasts of storms and heavy rain
The forecasts of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) are not encouraging. Meteorologists have indicated that the regions of the Mediterranean and the south of the peninsula will be the most affected, with torrential rains that could trigger severe storms.
Mario Picazo’s advance warning
Meteorologist Mario Picazo had warned a few days ago about the possibility of heavy rainfall, especially in areas such as Catalonia, Valencia and Andalusia. His predictions have become an alarming reality with the issuance of alerts by AEMET.
Alerts in the most vulnerable areas
Early in the morning, AEMET issued orange and yellow warnings for several autonomous communities. Catalonia is in a critical situation, with the alert indicating extremely intense rain, especially in coastal areas.
Catalonia and its vulnerability
Experts predict that some areas of Catalonia could accumulate more than 100 mm of water, which would significantly increase the risk of flash floods and overflows in streams.
Recommendations for the population
Authorities ask citizens to take precautions and avoid unnecessary travel. In several municipalities, emergency teams have been activated to respond to possible incidents, and Civil Protection has urged you to stay abreast of updates from emergency services.
Location in Valencia and Extremadura
Valencia, another of the critical points, faces rains that could leave between 60 and 80 mm of water in a short time. Alicante and Valencia are the most exposed areas, with recommendations for caution on the roads.
In Extremadura, the intensity of the rain is expected to be moderate, but sufficient to activate yellow warnings. Soil saturation due to previous rains could increase the risk of landslides.
An uncertain future with possible consequences
With DANA affecting several regions, the authorities are preparing to face the consequences of this weather phenomenon. The uncertainty about its evolution and the effects it may have on the territory keep the population on alert, emphasizing the importance of following official instructions.
