The trajectory of ‘Danielle’: it will leave storms and hail before “dying” in Spain on Friday

Danielle was a hurricane that has become a typical storm that is now called ‘ex-Danielle storm’ The ex-Daniell storm will remain in Spain until Friday at most It is the first episode of abundant rainfall since the month of April Hurricane, storm or tropical cyclone. Danielle has been unpredictable from the beginning and will not stop being until the end. Danielle was a hurricane that has undergone a process of extratropicalization in its center of rotation, on Monday intense storms began to develop over the sea in an organized and stable manner. That structure, a kind of cluster of storms in the center of the storm, gave rise to it becoming a tropical cyclone. But finally, that process of extratropicalization has made it become a typical storm. “Officially it is a large storm that, due to its origin and its impact, like the rest of a hurricane, is now called the ex-Danielle storm,” says Francisco Martín, Meteored’s meteorologist. Daniell is the name given to it by the United States National Hurricane Center. “When it goes from a hurricane to a storm, you have to change the name,” they explain from Meteored. Ex-Daniell stays until Friday This weather is turbulent and widespread in practically the entire peninsula and the Balearic Islands is responsible for the ex-Daniell storm. “The center of low pressure, that is, the center of this storm is in western Galicia but it is affecting all of Spain. Of course, at most it will stay until Friday, when it says goodbye, weakens and dies,” Martin assures. It has been located and will be located for a few days in the west of the Peninsula, from where it is sending different fronts that will irrigate part of the territory, especially the western half and the surroundings of the Pyrenees, warns the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). ), which is causing the transition from a full summer time to a pre-autumn environment. It should also be noted that a good part of the precipitation will fall in the form of showers that could be intense, with accumulations of more than 15 or 20 l/ m² in one hour. There will also be storms, which could be accompanied by strong gusts of wind and hail. pic.twitter.com/jFY4c6W7Pe— AEMET (@AEMET_Esp) September 13, 2022 Specifically, this Wednesday the widespread rains are expected to continue. “These precipitations may be occasionally stormy and locally strong and persistent in the southern half of Galicia, northern Extremadura, northern Aragón and Catalonia and the extreme southeast of the peninsula, while cloudy intervals with some showers will extend to the rest of the peninsula and especially the eastern third, even with a tendency to subside,” says the AEMET spokesman, Rubén del Campo. The cloudiness will also affect the archipelagos, with medium and high clouds in the Balearic Islands and intervals with possible weak rainfall in the Canary Islands. The maximum temperatures will drop in coastal areas of the Mediterranean area and also of the Cantabrian, with a tendency to rise in the interior of the eastern peninsular third, while the minimum temperatures will fall in a generalized way. The wind will blow from the southwest direction on the Atlantic slope, with a component south in the Basque Country, Aragon and Catalonia, with intervals of strong wind from the southwest in Ampurdán, from the west in the Strait and Alborán and from the northwest that will later turn north in the Canary Islands. On Thursday ex-Danielle will give way to a unstable day, with showers but less abundant than these days. And by Friday morning the storm will be history. Just as ex-Daniell has brought a drop in temperatures for the weekend, the weather is expected to stabilize. There will be clearer skies and generally little rainfall, although there may be some light rain in some parts of the peninsula. There will be a rise in daytime temperatures that will not exceed 30 degrees in the north and center of Spain. Although there is a lot of instability, facing Monday it is possible that instability will return to the south of the peninsula, although they point out from Metered that it is not expected that after ex-Danielle there will be many episodes of rain. The ex-Daniel storm will stay until Friday at mostMETEOSATThese rains are a relief but it is not enough”We have been very lucky, that this storm has approached us, we really needed it. Since April there had not been a storm in Spain these characteristics. It is the first storm in six months that has a certain impact and affects us,” explains Martín. That yes, he admits, it is a relief but it is not enough. In Spain we have a rainfall deficit of two or three years. We have a long lasting drought that is not going to save ex-Danielle. It would take more storms, more storms for us to really begin to fill the reservoir”. The ex-Danielle storm has brought the first significant rains of this pre-autumn. Rainfall is accumulating between 50-60 liters per square meter in 12 hours , especially around the Central System and up to 40 liters in 12 hours at points in the provinces of Salamanca, León, Zamora, Sierra de Madrid, areas of Galicia and the Pyrenees-Lleida, among other areas.A dozen provinces will have this Wednesday weather warning due to the risk of heavy rains, storms accompanied by hail, intense winds or rissagas, according to AEMET, which expects rainfall to be recorded in much of the Peninsula As for the winds, they will be moderate from the south in the western half of the peninsula, with strong intervals in mountain areas.From the southeast in Aragon, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, from the west in the Strait, and from the northwest in the Canary Islands.In the rest they will blow from variable directions.
