Atlantic storm affects the peninsula with rains and strong winds
A succession of frontal systems coming from the Atlantic is severely impacting the peninsular territory with a prolonged storm that will remain active until next Saturday. These weather fronts are generating persistent precipitation, intense wind gusts, and a marked temperature drop throughout the region 🌧️.
Extreme conditions in coastal areas
The littoral areas of the Cantabrian Sea and the Atlantic are suffering hurricane-force winds exceeding 80 km/h, accompanied by dangerous waves that have prompted the activation of maritime risk alerts. The authorities have issued specific recommendations for the coastal population.
Coastal safety measures:- Avoid walks on breakwaters and breaking wave areas
- Suspend all recreational and sports navigation
- Stay away from seawalls and maritime promenades
"Emergency services remain on maximum alert for possible incidents due to falling branches or flooding in low-lying areas" - Civil Protection
Forecasts for the peninsular interior
In the interior regions, precipitation will be widespread although less intense, with occasional showers and isolated storms. The temperature drop will be especially noticeable at night, with values not exceeding five degrees in numerous provincial capitals ❄️.
Active weather warnings:- Frost alerts in mountainous areas
- Snow level descending to 1,000 meters
- Yellow alerts for rain and wind in 15 provinces
Recommendations for the population
The adverse conditions recommend extreme precautions in travel and outdoor activities. Experts suggest that the safest plan for this weekend will be to remain in enclosed spaces, as going out on the street without adequate protection has become a high meteorological risk activity 🏠.
