The current meteorological situation has been generated by a marked wet and unstable flow, the result of the union of two storms, one that evolves from the Mediterranean Sea and another from the Atlantic Ocean.
This situation will lead to heavy, persistent and stormy rainfall, producing accumulations that may exceed 100 mm or even 200 mm in 12 hours.
The Atlantic storm has entered the southwest and south of the peninsula, at the same time as the Mediterranean storm is approaching the Balearic Islands.
On Saturday 20, the storm will move to the southwest, placing the highest probability of strong and persistent precipitation still in the Valencian Community and with greater intensity in the Region of Murcia and the Mediterranean area of ​​Andalusia, where they could be very strong.
As of Sunday, day 21, the most probable situation is that the situation tends to subside, with the displacement of the storm to the west of the Peninsula, although there is considerable uncertainty as to its trajectory.
It is more likely that the rains, which are less intense, will mainly affect the southern half of the peninsula, especially in the southeast and southwest.
It should be noted that AEMET will issue a new Special Notice tomorrow, Friday 19th, and recommends a more detailed and updated monitoring of this atmospheric situation through its predictions and warnings of adverse phenomena.
