Aemet has issued weather warnings for heavy rain and storms as a DANA affects Spain.
Key Points
- • Aemet warns of severe weather due to approaching DANA.
- • Heavy rainfall expected in east and southeast regions.
- • Potential cooling effect on wildfire risks anticipated.
- • Public urged to stay informed and heed local advisories.
The Spanish meteorological agency, Aemet, has issued urgent weather warnings across various regions in response to the arrival of a DANA (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos), which is expected to bring significant rain and storms. The agency reports that areas particularly vulnerable include the east and southeast coasts, where impacts are anticipated to start affecting conditions from today onwards.
According to Aemet, this DANA event could lead to heavy rainfall, potentially exacerbating risks for wildfires in the region. While the precise impact on wildfire behavior will depend on local conditions, the forecast suggests a cooler atmosphere, which might provide temporary relief to ongoing fire risks. This marks a notable shift in weather patterns, creating a stark contrast to the preceding warm and dry phases of the summer month.
As of now, Aemet has not detailed the exact accumulation of rainfall expected, but the alerts are in place to prepare local authorities and the public for severe weather conditions. Updates will follow as the situation develops and meteorological assessments continue, with the agency encouraging citizens to remain vigilant and heed local advisories.
