Fury in the northeast peninsular and Balearic Islands
The first winter storm due to wind, rain, snow and waves, due in part to the stormy Gloria, will focus its rage on the peninsular northeast and the Balearic Islands on Tuesday, with waves of seven meters on the Catalan coast and copious snowfall with 50 centimeters thickness in Teruel.
The storm began this Sunday, peaked on Monday and will be losing intensity this Tuesday. "The temperatures rise a little and it will snow less. However, the maritime storm will remain very strong," one of the spokesmen for the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) told Servimedia.
Del Campo said that these days live some of the "crudest" moments of this winter , which is due to the confluence of two atmospheric phenomena: the deepening of a deep storm in the Mediterranean, called Gloria, and the air intake Polar cold through the 'corridor' created between Gloria's position and a European anticyclone centered on the British Isles.
The adverse weather on Tuesday shifts to the northeast of the peninsula and will improve in other areas. The snow level will rise progressively and decrease the intensity of wind and rainfall, although strong and persistent rainfall and strong wind in the northeast will follow.
It will also snow heavily with accumulations of 20 to 40 centimeters in areas of southern Aragon, northeastern Castilla-La Mancha and the eastern Pyrenees.
As for the state of the sea, it will continue to be very adverse in coastal areas of the Mediterranean coast, especially on the Catalan coast, where waves that can reach seven meters are expected, although the storm will tend to abate.
Provinces advised
On the other hand, a total of 29 provinces of 12 autonomous communities have notices of different consideration due to the storm. With the red warning (extreme risk, the highest on a three-level scale) are the coast of Barcelona and Girona until 10.00 am by waves of about seven meters, with the consequent impact on seafront and coastlines. From then on, those places will drop to orange warning (major risk, the second on the scale). There is also red warning in areas of Teruel (Gúdar and Maestrazgo), where 50 centimeters of snow will accumulate.
With orange warning for snowfall of about 20 centimeters are Teruel (Albarracín and Jiloca), Zaragoza (Iberian), Cuenca (mountain range), Guadalajara (Parameras de Molina), Girona (Pyrenees), Albacete and Castellón.
The orange warning also affects Barcelona (pre-Pyrenees), Girona (Pyrenees and pre-coastal), Tarragona (central and southern depression), Teruel, Valencia and Castellón (north interior) due to persistent rains of at least 100 liters per square meter in 12 hours.
The same happens in Barcelona (coast) and Tarragona (north and south pre-coastal) by wind gusts of 90 km / h, as well as the coast of Tarragona, Castellón, Valencia, Alicantes, Baleares and A Coruña by waves of four to six meters .
The rest of the notices are yellow (risk, the lowest on the scale). Some of them will disappear as the day progresses, such as snow in Albacete, Almería, Burgos, Cuenca, Granada, Guadalajara, Jaén, La Rioja and Murcia at 9.00 hours, or the wind in Teruel, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Madrid , for example. The worst of the storm will already have happened on the afternoon of this Tuesday, when few areas will keep warnings for adverse phenomena.
