Las temperaturas se desploman el fin de semana, ¿es normal un zarpazo otoñal en pleno agosto?
Los expertos coinciden en que estos episodios, con lluvias copiosas, son raros en los últimos veranos y subrayan que en esta ocasión hay una gran cantidad de energía debido a un Mediterráneo en ebullición
This weekend, Spain is on the brink of a major atmospheric pattern shift as the high-pressure system retreats to Iceland, sails off to Italy for the holidays, and is replaced by an Arctic air mass and an approaching vagueness or even a possible dana. This will bring heavy rainfall and temperatures dropping between 5 and 10 degrees below the norm for this time of year.
This configuration is more typical of autumn, not August. Five experts consulted by EL PAÍS agree that this autumnal blast is within normal limits, though it's rare in recent years, as summers are now extending well into the next season. The key difference compared to past summers is the large amount of energy accumulated this year due to a boiling Mediterranean Sea, extra fuel that could lead to very adverse situations, including sudden freezing rain and floods.
