The Comunitat Valenciana is preparing for a wet weekend with possible risks for the safety of its inhabitants and agricultural production. According to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), the region has been placed on yellow alert due to the arrival of a DANA (Isolated High Level Depression). This will bring heavy thunderstorms and hail, especially in the provinces of Castellón and Valencia.
What to expect from the weather this weekend?
The storm has begun to manifest itself today, Friday, with localised rainfall in inland areas. It is expected to worsen on Saturday, extending to the entire coastal strip. The Aemet anticipates that the storms could also affect the coastal areas of Valencia and the north of Alicante, increasing the risk of flooding and possible damage to infrastructure.
Heavy showers are expected in some areas, with the possibility of hail. Authorities have asked the public to stay informed and take precautions to avoid incidents.
Advice on how to deal with the storm brought by the DANA
In view of the rain and hail warning, it is important to take preventive measures, especially in rural areas and areas at risk of flooding. Here are some recommendations:
- Check drains and gutters: Keeping them clear will help to avoid water accumulation in the house.
- Avoid unnecessary travel: Roads may become dangerous and traffic restrictions are recommended during the storm.
- Protects agricultural vehicles and machinery: Hail can cause significant damage, so covering or sheltering them is essential.
- Follow the recommendations of the authorities: Warnings will be updated as the DANA progresses, so it is essential to stay informed and act accordingly.
