Spain Braces for Continued Storms Amid DANA

Published: 2024-08-25

Spain is currently experiencing significant weather disruptions due to a DANA (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos), which has brought torrential rains, hail, and high waves, particularly affecting the Mediterranean coast.

Despite a summer marked by heatwaves, these intense storms are expected to continue, with regions like Aragón, Catalunya, and the northern part of the Valencian Community being the most affected.

Meteorologists predict that while the upcoming week may be drier in most parts of Spain, the north could still see showers, and thunderstorms are likely to hit Catalunya later in the week.

The high sea temperatures are contributing to the severity of these storms, providing additional energy that could lead to more intense precipitation events.

As the month progresses, there remains a possibility of further DANAs impacting the region, potentially bringing more extreme weather conditions.
