After a few days with very high maximum temperatures, the approach of a DANA tomorrow will mark a significant change in weather
LOGROÑO, June 6. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The heat expected for today, Thursday, June 6, and tomorrow, Friday, June 7, will give way this weekend to rain and storms that will put La Rioja on a yellow level warning, as reported by the State Meteorological Agency. (AEMET).
From 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 8, rain is expected with an accumulated precipitation of fifteen millimeters in one hour throughout La Rioja and throughout the day.
Along with this phenomenon, possible strong gusts and hail are expected. In addition, storms will be added, also throughout La Rioja, from 3:00 p.m. and throughout the day.
The AEMET has explained that A yellow level storm warning indicates that severe storms are expected in the affected warning area.
Given the nature of these phenomena, there is the possibility that storms of higher intensity may occur occasionally.
EPISODE OF WIDESPREAD INSTABILITY IN THE PENINSULA
After a few days with very high maximum temperatures, the approach tomorrow of a DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels) will mark a significant change in weather on the Peninsula, with notable thermal drops and generalized atmospheric instability.
DANA will enter the Gulf of Cádiz on Friday afternoon, so the southwest quadrant of the peninsula will be the first area to notice the drop in temperatures.
These drops will be notable and even locally extraordinary, and during Saturday they will extend to a good part of the Peninsula, although in the Ebro valley and in the Mediterranean area it will still reach 35 degrees during the weekend.
The forecast is that for much of next week there will continue to be cool temperatures throughout the Peninsula.
As for rainfall, heavy showers are already expected on Friday afternoon in areas of the northwest quadrant of the peninsula, without ruling them out in other parts of the western third as well.
They will be accompanied by storms and hail, without ruling out that they will be very strong locally. On Saturday the 8th, DANA will advance across the Peninsula and showers and storms will become widespread.
They will be less probable and intense in the extreme northeast and southwest of the peninsula, while they would be strong in large areas of the northern half and in the surroundings of the Iberian system.
On Sunday the 9th, DANA will have moved to the northeast of the peninsula and it will be in that area where the most intense showers and storms are expected, although they are also probable, with less intensity, in the rest of the northern half, without ruling them out in the Balearic Islands.
Over the next week, uncertainty increases greatly. Although DANA will have left our territory, we will be under the effect of an Atlantic trough that will cause generalized atmospheric instability to continue for much of the week.
The AEMET indicates that we will once again have showers and storms in large areas of the Peninsula, although it is less likely that they will reach the southern tip of the peninsula. Add that today It is difficult to pinpoint the areas where the showers will be most intense.
Finally, he explains that some scenarios point to atmospheric stabilization starting on Wednesday or Thursday, but there are others that postpone it until the weekend, so it is still too early to define when this episode will end.
