Why the warning in Almería is raised to red
It was expected that the dana that has sowed death in the east of the peninsula would gradually disappear throughout this Sunday and Monday and that the situation would be more stable, but the intensity of this phenomenon has once again surprised the experts. force the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) to decree a red notice not foreseen in advance and on the fly.
At around 10:15, Aemet has launched the red warning, which implies extreme risk to the lives of people and property, throughout the province of Almería except the western area and the capital due to the presence of storms in the southeast of the Peninsula that They are highly developed and very organized. Torrential rains are expected, with accumulations of more than 60 liters in one hour and could reach 120 in 12 hours. Higher accumulations in some points are not ruled out and all of this accompanied by storms.
What is over that province is a mesoscale convective system, that is, a complex of storms that is organized on a larger scale than individual storms and that normally persists for several hours or more and is capable of dropping significant amounts of rain. , large hail and very strong gusts of wind.
When a red notice is issued, Aemet does so because it is expected that a threshold may be exceeded, but a red notice does not mean that exactly that amount will fall: the figure can be exceeded and even more so in situations of damage and storms, the two phenomena that are more difficult to predict. In addition to Almería, there are warnings in other areas of Andalusia, in Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, Murcia and the Valencian Community, which is orange or significant risk – the second level of three – in the last three communities and yellow, the minimum, in the first two.
