AEMET Warns of Heavy Mediterranean Rains From Thursday as Humid Easterlies Return

Forecasters caution the setup remains highly uncertain because upper-level cold air may interact with moist onshore flow.

Overview

  • AEMET indicates abundant precipitation could begin on Thursday, October 9, particularly affecting the Valencian Community and potentially disrupting 9 d’Octubre events.
  • The agency underscores significant forecast uncertainty tied to the evolving interaction of upper-level cold air and surface easterlies.
  • Midweek in Valencia, Alicante and Castellón is expected to bring cloudy to overcast skies with locally moderate showers and thunderstorms, with higher chances on the central coast and northern Alicante.
  • Some experts cite global models that hint at a possible DANA or trough, a scenario that remains unconfirmed.
  • Regional contrasts are expected, with temperatures rising in the northern half and cooling in the southeast, while easterlies dominate elsewhere and strong tramontana and northerly gusts are likely in Ampurdán and the Balearics.
