Storm Garoe continues to move across Spain. Therefore, the weather today will not be much different from what we saw yesterday. The worst affected area remains western part of AndalusiaAt the same time, an orange alert was declared in several regions heavy rain and storms. Otherwise, a yellow alert level has been declared in some locations. Extremadura, Castile and Leon and Galicia.
Most of these warnings are related to rain, with the exception of Galicia, where the yellow alert level is due to rain. coastal phenomenawith winds that can reach 60 kilometers per hour.
In short, today’s weather is practically a copy of what we saw yesterday. The reason, again, is Storm Garoe and gusty winds. It’s impossible to know with complete certainty how long this situation will continue, but current forecasts suggest the storm will be out of the way throughout Thursday. This will mean there are still 24 hours left of weather similar to today’s. What else can we expect in the next few hours?
Storms, rain and tornadoes: this is what today’s weather will be like
The amazing fact about today’s weather is that… the coastlines of Cadiz and Huelva, the Aracena mountains in Huelva and the Sierra Norte mountains in Seville. May be tornado or sleevesin case they occur at sea.
These phenomena form as a result of a type of rotating storm known as supercell or supercell. For these storms to form, there must first be atmospheric instability causing hot air to rise quickly. After this it is necessary cut. This is a type of wind that changes its speed and direction as it rises. But we’re still missing an ingredient. For there to be a storm, you need clouds, so there need to be clouds in the lower layers of the atmosphere. humid air which can condense to form clouds. And how are they formed?
In the lower layers of the atmosphere the air is colder. This makes it easier for the water in it to evaporate. be compressed generate steam, forming thunderclouds. This process generates heat. Now we have more hot air; which, as always, tends to grow. Once again, there is only cold, damp air below, which condenses again, creating more heat and more hot air that will continue to rise and feed the storm. This, together with the shear, will cause the air mass accumulating in the upper parts to begin to rotate until funnel known as a mesocyclone. The air inside the mesocyclone is very hot, but outside it remains cold. This creates a temperature difference associated with instability that causes the sinkhole to grow even larger.
As the mesocyclone grows, it may reach the ground. We would already be faced with tornado. This may seem scary, given all the movies we’ve seen about very destructive tornadoes. However, most tornadoes are usually small and very short. They create gusts of wind from 100 to 200 km/h and they quickly disappear. It is these less destructive tornadoes that may be part of today’s weather in Huelva, Seville and Cadiz. On the other hand, the remaining affected areas will experience at most rain and thunderstorms, exactly the same as yesterday.
What about the rest of Spain?
In the rest of Spain the weather today will be the same as yesterday. Clouds will be widespread except in the east, where there will be mostly sunshine. Storms will spread from the east to the center, where they will gradually turn into isolated showers.
As for the islands, the situation will be quite stable in the Balearic Islands, while storms are expected in the Canary Islands, as well as in west of the peninsula. You know, have an umbrella ready if necessary and keep an eye out for alerts.
