High temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea in September have traditionally prompted intense storms at this time of year, especially when combined with high humidity. Many in the Vega Baja are still reeling from last year’s DANA (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos – Isolated Depression in High Levels) which caused devastating flooding in many towns and villages.
Weather experts predict that conditions this week could provoke another DANA. Weather website, Meteored, warns that “Right now a good part of the western [Mediterranean] sector is more than 26 ºC” claiming that a new DANA could arrive early this week.
Meteored’s spokesperson Víctor González said in a statement, “The forecasts for these next few days show instability” predicting that a depression will move slowly and erratically over the western Mediterranean.
González continued, “The presence of a height depression of these characteristics could cause generalized and severe storms, affecting the Balearic Islands or even the east of the Iberian Peninsula.”
Meteored is one of the world’s leading meteorological information projects with more than 20 years of experience. González said, “Currently our predictions, models and news are offered around the world through different media and platforms. It is because of our experience, quality and dedication that millions of people trust us to plan their day to day.”
