In recent months we have witnessed rainy episodes of great intensity that led to beating various brands. They have also led the reservoirs to reach levels that we had not seen in years. Now we have the summer ahead, and we do not know what will hold us.
Exceeded the beak. The reservoirs reached at the end of May the best filling figure so far from 2025 and, with it, their best figure in several years, after a long one he continued that he left many swamps to the edge of the disappearance. Now, the Last data of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge indicate A slight descent In the reservoir water that suggests that we are already past the spring time of bonanza.
(Almost) all basins in setback. The Recent figures of the Ministry indicate that the water reserve is 43,038 cubic hectometers (HM³), which implies 76.8% of its capacity. It is therefore slightly below 43,412 hm³ (77.5% of its capacity) with which it had The previous week.
TO Basin levelall large peninsular basins have registered descents except for the Basque internal basins, which remain 100% of their capacity, and the Catalan internal, which reached 554 hm³, 81.8% of their capacity after accumulating 4 hm³ more than the previous week. The most pronounced decrease occurred in the basins of the Galician coast, which went from 75.7% of its capacity to 73.7%.
The end of spring. The arrival of meteorological summer implies that the average level of the reservoirs has already begun to descend after reaching its peak and will continue to do so until the arrival of the autumn rains. After a week of intense heat and atmospheric stability, rainfall and storms That the last days have affected the north of the peninsula could moderate this decrease for now, but weather forecasts affect that summer is already over us.
Forecasts that, in the short term speak of the return of anticyclonic and heat time, with The threat of 40º Celsius again present. In the medium term, predictions also seem to confirm that we are in the middle of summer.
The State Meteorology Agency (AEMET) estimates that the next three weeks will be slightly dry than usual for these dates but also provides for them somewhat warmer. Thermal anomalies are planned that could exceed 3rd during the first weeks in some areas, but with positive thermal anomalies in almost the entire country throughout the next three weeks.
Uncertain summer. If the forecasts are met, the month of June will be slightly dry but, above all, warmer than usual. From here there is little that we can anticipate without falling into the speculative.
The summer of 2024 was Very warm and very humid In most of the country, with 1st Celsius temperatures above the usual in peninsular Spain and rainfall 17% above the usual in the same region. The 2024 was the sixth wettest and most warm summer of the 21st century, and also the most warm sixth of the historical series. We will have to wait to know if the 2025 follows any of these patterns to find out how this affects the swamps of the Iberian Peninsula.
