The persistence of the blockade in the middle of May brings us storms and a lot of uncertainty

In recent days, a Dana has been affecting a good part of the peninsular territory. And, even if it seems, the news is not that it will continue with us “favoring the development of intense and organized storms.” Will do it (As of Tuesday, “Depression will tend again to descend on latitude in an erratic and retrograde movement, approaching our geography”); But that begins to be the least.

The most thing is that, for the umpteenth time, A persistent blocking pattern It continues to hinder the zonal circulation.

A puzzle called “Spring of 2025”. As Sergio Escama explains in detailcurrent instability is due to three weather pieces:

1. The anticyclone of the Azores that, despite being placed in its usual place, continues to have a strange elongation to the north (a kind of slide) that allows the arrival of Atlantic storms to the Peninsula.
2. A dorsal that from Central Europe attracts the entire continent and arrives at the British Isles
3. A continuous transfer of low pressures that passes between the two anticyclones and reaches our latitudes.

Time-out! However, the next two days will be more stable and temperatures will tend to rise. Of course, the minimums will continue lower than normal and should not surprise us if we find frost in mid -May.

But in a matter of days, the situation will become complicated again. Because, as I said, the Dana that now seems to get away will start going down back to us And, predictably, it will form a system with another that ascends from southern Africa.

That is, between the Tuesday and Thursday a significant increase in stormy activity is expected. In fact, due to uncertainties associated with this type of phenomena, agencies are preparing: storms can be strong and t could affect any point in the country.

Of course, the center, the north and some parts of the west of the peninsular territory They will take the worst part.

What can we expect? In addition to low temperatures, What we are going to see They are storms (some very intense) that will cause rays, storms and hail. But that is in the short term, in the long term no one is very clear about what will happen.

We are in a year in which many areas have seen rains as they did not see since the beginning of the records. March, as we know, has been One of the rainiest since 1961. The interesting thing is that May will also be above the average and nobody knows how all this will affect summer.

So we enjoy it and cross our fingers so that this is not an anecdote, but a change of trend.
