A historic March in precipitation
In March 2025 he has marked a before and after in the climate history of Spain, with registrations of rainfall that have exceeded the usual levels, causing a chain reaction between those who deny the reality of climate change. Figures like Donald Trump and Carlos Mazón have taken advantage of this situation to reaffirm their positions, although scientific facts indicate the opposite.
Science behind the rainfall
According to the State Meteorology Agency (AEMET), this March has been the rainiest since the start of records in Madrid. In Catalonia, the data is also significant, with a month that slightly passed the 2011 figures. However, these changes do not contradict the scientific predictions of climate change, which alert to a future with more severe droughts and extremely intense rains.
The importance of long -term perspective
Rubén del Campo, spokesman for the Aemet, emphasizes that no conclusions can be made from a single month of rain. The general tendency points to a decrease in precipitation, and a damp episode does not alter this reality. This is a reminder of the importance of adopting a long -term view on climate patterns.
Changes in global climate patterns
Ernesto Rodríguez Camino, President of the Spanish Meteorological Association (AME), reaffirms that climate change involves significant alterations in rain patterns, with an increase in storms and intensification of droughts. A recent study emphasizes that the Mediterranean basin is experiencing an increase in the conditions of climate aridity, attributable to the increase in temperatures.
The role of anticyclones
In addition, the current weather conditions have been influenced by an anticyclone that has diverted the storms to the Iberian Peninsula. This phenomenon, although observed in this period of year, requires a deeper analysis to determine its relationship with climate change.
The future of climate and humanity
The scientific community warns that global warming, caused by human activity, is causing an unprecedented increase in temperatures. The World Meteorological Organization (OMM) has confirmed that 2024 was the warmest year registered so far, and projections indicate that the situation will continue to worsen if the greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced.
The consequences of a changing climate
With increasing temperatures, adverse effects such as forest fires, floods and heat waves will become more frequent and destructive, affecting societies, economies and biodiversity. The experience accumulated in recent decades is a clear warning that needs to be taken to mitigate these consequences.
