Aemet is clear that the end of May will not be “normal.” And the question is whether summer will arrive at some point

We were going to suffer the first summer bars and, although the calima has punctured expectations a bitthe truth is that heat and dryness They have been the great protagonists of the meteorology of most of the country.

And I say most because in the northwest the storms are already being noticed: the next few hours, a new Dana will cross the peninsula leaving showers, storms and heavy rains throughout the country. It’s just the beginning.

Things are going to change and we have been listening to it weeks; But the truth is that, for now, The situation remains the same.

A meteorological combo. Because yes, the first thing will be a Dana that will sweep us from the Peninsular North and will leave Tuesday night towards France; But, then (between Thursday and Friday) a trough will affect the Mediterranean area. And, as I say, Everything seems to point to that it takes and daca It is not the end of spring

During the next few days, days full of strong storms with more stable days will be happening. What is clear is that, we want or not, It will not be the normal situation For the last half of May.

The best example will be the weekend. Because once the trough, stability will take over the country. The question asked everyone (meteorologists included) is whether it is the definitive one.

Luckily, medium/long -term trends are here. And, for the first time in a long time, they begin to Draw a “return to normal”. European models point out that, although most of the Peninsula will receive average rainfall (and the north, a little more than normal), the southeast of the country must prepare to forget what has happened during this spring: the driest climate is here again.

In fact, that is the second half of May. If we look at the first half of June, that climate “slightly dry than normal” will be present throughout the southern half, the Mediterranean coast, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. The northwest quadrant will have a rainfall regime “within normal.”

Something similar We will see with temperatures: During these two weeks, the fresco will endure in some zoans of the interior, but progressively all of Spain will slide towards a warmer situation than normal. Not too much, it is true: but enough to break the very long streak of strange patterns that began in March this year.

Will summer start? It is a great question. The problem is that we do not know.
