The ‘Danielle’ storm activates alerts for rain and wind in Galicia

The warning for rainfall will remain active until Wednesday Accumulation of more than 15 mm is expected in one hour on the coast of A Coruña and Pontevedra In addition, this Monday the wind is expected to blow strongly in the mountain areas of Lugo and Ourense Much has been said in recent days about how Hurricane ‘Danielle’ would affect the peninsula. Now we know that in its drift across the Atlantic it has lost strength and that it will make landfall this Monday already undone in the form of a storm. Predictions say that ‘Danielle’ could help alleviate the drought situation and fill the Galician reservoirs. Significant rainfall is expected. Above all, in the west of Galicia. In fact, the meteorological services have activated a yellow alert due to accumulations of rain in A Costa da Morte and in the O Barbanza peninsula, in the province of A Coruña; and also in all the Rías Baixas (Pontevedra). MeteoGalicia places the start of this warning for rainfall at 6:00 p.m. this Monday. An alert that will remain active for more than two days, until Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. The forecasts indicate accumulations of precipitation of more than 15 mm in one hour in those areas. To that yellow alert for rain, we must add another of the same color for wind in the mountainous areas of Lugo and Ourense and on the southern coast of the province of A Coruna. There, throughout the day on Monday, strong gusts of wind from the south are expected, which, on time, could reach 80 kilometers per hour. Dry and sunny weather from Friday Models indicate that the instability will last until Thursday. This day rains are still expected, although less intense and more isolated than in previous days. From Friday, Galicia will be under the influence of an anticyclone that, predictably, will be located to the north of the peninsula. In this way, for the weekend, dry and sunny weather is expected in most of Galicia.
