The question is no longer whether the rains return or not. The question is what is happening this spring with the meteorology of Spain

“Have you enjoyed the sun?” The meteorologist Roberto Granda asked Yesterday at noon. “Well, hurry, because from Tuesday afternoon the clouds and rain return to much of the country,” he continued and, effectively, it will be like that. In fact, from Wednesday to Friday, we will see enough rain in the west of the peninsula.

But, of course, the key issue is no longer If the rain comes back or not. We have that clear. The key is what is happening this spring to meet all this rain.

But, first of all, why don’t it rain now? Basically because during these last days an anticyclone has managed to close the hall of deep storms that had emerged in the Atlantic. However, it is not one of those anticyclones that remain on our heads until weed. While I write this, the anticyclone is already giving way for cold air masses to get into the country from the southwest.

But that It will end. From Tuesday (and, above all, Wednesday) it will rain a lot in the Guadalquivir, Guadiana and Tajo basins. In fact, According to the weather index that measures the rarity of phenomenathe rains could be remarkably intense in the southern zone of the central system. Again.

But the thing does not end there: another blockade. As Víctor González explainsboth the European and the American models have begun to draw an anticyclonic block in northern Europe in their departures. That is, a structure very similar to the one that has accompanied us in March. However, it is still early to know what will happen (because there are several options).

The blockade in northern Europe Direct the storms Towards our latitudes. However, we need not an anticyclone about our heads. If in the end a dorsal is assembled on the peninsula, we will notice a “tempered and slightly unstable atmosphere”; But if the blockade is broken in the south, we can return to a situation very similar to last month.

Is April a new March? Not so fast. That is alone one of the possibilities that arise. It is not clear that it will happen (And, much less, with that intensity). However, what we are seeing is already interesting in itself: in a country so prone to persistent stability, this uncertainty is really very striking.

Hence, this article cannot end with the question we always ask ourselves “What can we expect?” We are entering An atmospheric dynamic that, beyond the rains this week, We can expect anything.
