A new DANA will arrive in Spain this week: these will be the affected areas

AEMET warned about arrival in Spain new DANA. After the horror that the last one caused, this word causes a lot of commotion. However, in its message, the agency also warned that DANA It is not necessarily synonymous with flood.

This is a call for calm, but also for attention. We have already seen that such events are no joke and that, moreover, they will become increasingly stronger as climate change keep moving forward. We don’t know exactly what the power of this new DANA will be, but we do know approximately where it will be discharged with the greatest force.

This is, generally speaking, Catalonia, Balearic Islands, Valencian Community and some points on the Mediterranean coast of Andalusia.. The possibility of impact on Murcia, the Cantabrian Sea and the center of the peninsula is also mentioned, although the likelihood of the new DANA reaching them is much lower.

When will the new DANA appear?

The report of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) published yesterday, November 10, talks about cold air mass which will move from Northern Europe to Southwestern Europe, where Spain is located.

If this mass of cold air suffocates the upper atmosphere, separating an isolated pocket, will become DANA and this is what was predicted to happen with 80% probability upon arrival in Spanish territory. That is why there is talk about a new DANA.

It will arrive on Tuesday, November 12th, but the busiest day is expected to be Wednesday. At the moment DANA forms, if it does, it will encounter a mass of moist air from the Mediterranean, much warmer than normal, so it will produce very heavy rains.

Temperatures will also drop across the board, and there may be snowfall in the mountain systems of areas affected by the new DANA. The situation will continue until Saturday 16, when, moving powerlessly to the southwest, it will eventually leave us.

What should we do?

First of all, there should be no panic about the new DANA. But you shouldn’t take this as a joke. In its notice, AEMET warns that forecasts may vary when this mass of cold air moves towards us. It may ultimately fail to become DANA, or its intensity may be lower or higher than predicted.

The Earth’s atmosphere follows chaotic systemtherefore, what happens in it can change in a very short time. This is why it is important for the public to heed the warnings. But above all, they are leaders. And if those who know about it warn you of approaching danger, be ready and run relevant notices.

This new DANA can become another one without causing any danger. But we don’t know. Rainfall is expected to reach 80-100 mm in the most affected areas. In some places it could even reach 200 mm. This will not necessarily lead to flooding like in Valencia, but it may lead to flooding in some places. Therefore, even if there is no panic, you need to be careful. We have already seen, in the worst sense, that we must always take nature seriously.
