Overview
- Aemet forecasts a DANA forming from an Atlantic trough will arrive this weekend and peak on Saturday with widespread convective storms across the peninsula and parts of the Balearic Islands.
- Regional warnings cover 12 autonomous communities with orange alerts in Aragón, Castilla‑La Mancha and the Valencian Community and a yellow alert for heavy rain in Valencia province.
- The agency highlights likely hazards including very heavy downpours, strong wind gusts and probable hail that could exceed 2 cm in some areas, with the heaviest rainfall expected near the Sistema Ibérico and the interior east.
- Very high temperatures (mid to high 30s °C) will persist in the southern half of Spain and Mallorca before the change, then fall sharply to more seasonal values on Saturday with a gradual recovery after Monday.
- Forecasters stress substantial uncertainty about the DANA’s exact track and post‑Monday evolution because isolated upper‑level lows are hard to predict, so local impacts may change and authorities urge people to follow updated warnings.
