Last special notice. Yesterday Tuesday, the State Meteorology Agency (AEMET), updated its Special notice of adverse phenomena associated with storms that these days suffer different points of the Peninsula. In the notice, the agency, in addition to accounting for the weather forecasts, addressed the probable evolution of the event in the remainder of the week.

Changes, perhaps not what we expected. Aemet’s forecasts indicate a trend change as of Friday. Of course, this change in the atmospheric situation will not imply the end of the rains. The reason is in An Atlantic storm which will become responsible for instability over the weekend.

What will change will be the areas where the rains are concentrated. On Friday the instability will be reduced in the east peninsular, while in the west will begin to notice the arrival of the new storm. Aemet points out, of course, that uncertainty is high regarding this new meteorological phenomenon.

Meanwhile… Waiting for the arrival of the change in trend, Aemet warns of the persistence of the rains.

They are also possible, adds the agency, the “strong showers” in the prelital of Catalonia and Malaga, as well as indoors in the southeast peninsular. The notices For rains they will be similar to Wednesday, with various areas of the east and southeast in yellow warning and a good part of the provinces of Tarragona, Castellón and Valencia under orange warning.

A partial relief. The arrival of a new storm in a practically consecutive way implies that in many of the areas affected by rain the relief could only be temporary. It is still early to know to what extent and for how long this new storm will affect the Peninsula, so it will be essential to pay attention to weather predictions throughout the week.
