Wind, fog, rain and waves trigger warnings this Thursday in 10 provinces and the autonomous city of Melilla, with minimum temperatures of up to 1°C in Palencia, according to the forecast of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
Specifically, the provinces with a yellow wind warning are Cantabria (Liébana), A Coruña, Lugo and Navarra (see Cantabria). A Coruña, Pontevedra and Melilla are also under a warning of this level due to rain, while in Ciudad Real and Badajoz yellow warnings are activated due to fog.
The waves, for their part, will impose an orange warning (important) in Asturias (western and eastern coastal coast), Cantabria (coastal coast), A Coruña, Lugo, Pontevedra, Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya.
The AEMET forecasts likely occasional heavy rainfall in the Nao and Melilla area this Thursday, while it will be persistent and locally heavy – with accumulated rainfall likely – in western Galicia. In addition, locally persistent fog is expected on the plateaus and very strong gusts in the mountain and coastal areas of Galicia, the Cantabrian region and the upper Ebro.
In this way, the day is expected to have a tendency towards stability in the Mediterranean, but at the beginning of the day there will be cloudy or cloudy skies in the eastern third of the peninsula and Melilla, with rainfall and an occasional storm in the southern half of the East Facade and the Autonomous City, which could be locally strong both in Melilla and around the Nao.
It is also possible that they also affect other parts of the eastern peninsula and the Balearic Islands, where cloudy periods prevail. In addition, the entry of an Atlantic front will cause the sky to be covered with precipitation in the northwestern third of the peninsula, with the greatest precipitation accumulating in western Galicia, where rainfall will be persistent and locally heavy.
Stable weather is expected in the rest of the peninsula, with intermittently cloudy skies and – except in the southwest quadrant – plenty of light morning clouds with a tendency to clear. In the Canary Islands, cloudy periods with light rainfall are expected in the north of the mountainous islands.
In turn, morning fog is expected to be locally persistent in areas of both plateaus, Guadalquivir, Ebro and inland of the eastern third of the peninsula, accompanied by possible haze in the Balearic Islands.
Maximum temperatures will increase in the Cantabrian Sea, southern Iberia, the west of the Northern Plateau and the southeastern third of the peninsula, while decreasing on the southern slope of the central system and the Cantabrian Mountains. At the same time, minimum temperatures will rise in Galicia, the Cantabrian region and Melilla and fall in most of the center and east of the peninsula, while little change in the rest. However, weak frosts are also expected in the main mountainous regions and locally on the northern plains.
Finally, moderate winds blow from the south in Galicia, the Cantabrian region and the upper Ebro, with strong breaks and very strong gusts on coasts and mountains. The moderate wind from the east and northeast will reach the coasts of the eastern facade of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands and a moderate trade wind is expected in the Canary Islands, while there will be light winds in the rest, with the southern component prevailing in the northwestern quadrant of the peninsula and the eastern component in the rest.
