Stable and sunny weather will predominate this Monday, November 11, in the Peninsula, although it is expected to a DANA may affect the Mediterranean area. or the south peninsular from Wednesday. It will do so, in fact, until Saturday 16, as reported by the forecast of the State Agency of Meteorology (Aemet).
Thus, this Monday, stable weather will predominate with abundant low morning cloudiness in the northern half of the peninsula and with the calima retreating from Canary Islands. Balearic Islands y Cataloniawill be at risk due to coastal phenomena with waves of up to three meters due to strong gusts of wind.which may reach 50 or 60 km/h. In the case of the Balearic Islands, they will also be at risk for rainfall, as they may accumulate up to 30 liters per square meter.
It will be from Tuesday when a new DANA will affect the Peninsula from northern Europe, thereby producing a generalized decrease in temperatures and the possibility that new torrential rains will be produced. Although there is still much uncertainty as to its position, it is expected to continue over the Peninsula until Saturday 16 and to affect, again, the Mediterranean areabut especially to the Balearic archipelago.
From Wednesday 31 is when the situation is expected to be more critical, with rainfall extending over much of the Peninsula and in the form of snow in the mountainous systemsalthough the heights will gradually rise. The Aemet expects rainfall to be much more intense and persistent in the Balearic Islands and on the Mediterranean coast.
Thus, it will be especially north of Cape La Nao at the beginning and later, in the north of the Valencian Community and in the coasts of Catalonia. There will also be rain on the Andalusian Mediterranean coast, although with less probability. In these areas it could accumulate along the entire length of the DANA. about 80-100 liters, even locally more than 200 liters. It is not ruled out that heavy and persistent rainfall could also occur in points of Murcia, Cantabrian and peninsular center. It is likely that from Saturday 16 precipitation will begin to lose intensity in the Mediterranean area.
A colder than normal week
Beyond precipitation, records during this week will also be colder than normal throughout the eastern half of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. It is true that severe cold is not expected, but even so the thermometers may drop up to three degrees, a situation that will end with the passage of the DANA over the weekend, when temperatures are expected to rise again with the arrival of warm air from Africa.
The coldest days will be Wednesday and Thursday, with maximum temperatures that will be below 10 or 15 degrees in most of the Peninsula. Also, heavy frosts are expected in large mountain areas. such as the Central System, the Cantabrian Mountain Range or the Iberian System, areas where values may reach -6 degrees. Likewise, in the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada, minimum values may be even lower.
