Persistent Rain and High Thunderstorm Risk Set to Soak Galicia

A slow, unstable system will keep near‑continuous rain with gusty southerly winds that raise the chance of storms and travel disruption.

Overview

  • Forecasts for 11–12 November show widespread precipitation probabilities near 100% across many Galician municipalities with rain expected from overnight through the night.
  • Meteorologists put the afternoon and evening thunderstorm chance as high as about 70–75% in several towns, with the most intense storm risk concentrated in the 13:00–19:00 window.
  • Humidity will sit near saturation (roughly 90–100%), producing persistently damp conditions and hourly rainfall peaks of single to low double digits, with some towns forecast to see 8–11 L/m² in an hour.
  • Southerly and southwesterly winds will strengthen at times with rachas (gusts) reported up to about 50–53 km/h, prompting advice to secure loose objects and take care on wet roads with reduced visibility.
  • Separately, Argentina's national weather service issued yellow alerts on 11 November for storms and strong westerly winds in seven provinces signaling locally heavy downpours, electrical activity and gusts to monitor in the coming hours.
