Impressive images.

Drought : there Catalonia sees the end of the tunnel. But at what cost ?

Certainly, the dams are still slightly full but the alert level seems to be getting further and further away. Thus, in recent days, the capacity of water reserves in internal basins showed 21.27% full compared to less than 16% in February.

However, with further rain expected and the melting of the last snow, this limit could be approached soon.

Thunderstorms

These last few days, marked by continuous rain, have marked a turning point on the other side of the Pyrenees. Sometimes violent events.

This Thursday again, thunderstorms broke out, particularly in the northeast of the province, around Girona. Thunderstorms sometimes accompanied by hail.

In Amer, about thirty kilometers west of Girona, a hailstorm produced hailstones as big as 50 cent coins, according to images relayed by Meteocat.

Other images published on social networks attest to a terrible hail storm still near Girona, this time with consequences on traffic at the level of theAP-7 highwaywhich connects Barcelona to La Jonquera, as an extension of the A9 motorway.

A thunderstorm reported mid-afternoon with vehicles idling and a carpet of hail on the roadway. Impressive images.

A phenomenon which will surely have caused damage in the sector, particularly on crops. Another subject.
