The first thing we need to understand is that torrential rains are not a new phenomenon in Spain, although their intensity and frequency are becoming so.

We are in an atmosphere with more energy.

The areas we must especially watch are the east of Catalonia, the surroundings of Cape Nao, the coasts of Alicante and Murcia, the Costa del Sol, and the Balearic Islands, especially the Pitiusas. "Sunday the 18th and Monday the 19th are shaping up to be the most adverse days," says Mar Gómez, meteorologist for eltiempo.es: "The areas we must especially watch are the east of Catalonia, the surroundings of Cape Nao, the coasts of Alicante and Murcia, the Costa del Sol, and the Balearic Islands, especially the Pitiusas. In some of these areas, accumulations of between 150 and 250 liters per square meter could be registered in a few hours, without ruling out higher amounts in localized areas," she notes. #Danas #LluviasTorrenciales #CambioClimático (translated)
