The effects of polar jet undulation

If last week it was marked by a stable atmospheric situation and (especially) by heat, which begins today promises to come with storms and rainfall as great protagonists. The culprit that meteorologists point out: the polar jet.

Change in the trend. The experts foresee That this week is marked by instability and storms, as a result of several troughs that will parade through the northern peninsula pushed by undulations of the polar jet. A good part of the territory will say goodbye during these days to the warm event that put the thermometers above the 35º Celsius in much of the country.

The passage of troughs. As They already anticipated last week The experts, the reason for this change is in the passage of a trough (several, probably), an elongation of low pressures. The passage of these troughs is bringing unstable time with rainfall and storms that are being locally strong and from the weekend They affect north of the peninsula.

Rain, and more. The forecasts of the State Meteorology Agency They speak of “rainfall and/or locally strong storms” in several areas of the northern peninsular half, such as the Eastern Cantabrian, Alto Ebro, Pyrenees, Iberian and Northeast of the Plateau.

The worst part probably falls on the Iberian mountain range. While Aemet He has issued Various yellow warnings for rains and storms, orange notices (for storms) will be activated today in the regions located in the region, as well as in Soria’s adjacent plateau.

Already on Tuesday, the agency Point out The continuity of the “locally strong storms”, which during the morning would affect the east and south of the northern plateau, and also to Eastern Iberian environments and Betic.

Thermal roller coaster. While the weather change is being more pronounced in the northern half of the Peninsula, between today and tomorrow the temperatures will descend, “normalizing”, in most of the country, according to forecasts.

However, the situation could change again from Thursday. According to Meteorologists point outthe arrival of a new dorsal on Thursday, accompanied by dust in suspension, could lead to the return of high temperatures, although their rise would be more located in the Mediterranean area, including the Balearic archipelago.
