Overview
- An official bulletin named Hugo Morán president of Spain’s state weather agency and recorded María José Rallo’s departure.
- The Ecological Transition Ministry framed the change as internal reorganization and said Rallo asked to leave for personal reasons.
- Ministry sources said Rallo stayed on to see the new statutes take effect and helped design the updated organizational structure.
- The leadership shift follows a labor dispute that neared a Holy Week strike and was defused by a late‑March deal to improve staff conditions.
- Aemet’s growing role in warning about extreme weather, including the Valencia dana storm episode, has increased scrutiny of how it is led and staffed.
