AEMET gets ahead of Jorge Rey and confirms: this will happen in February with the rains

The last days of January are being marked by abundant rains in much of Spain, although with notable differences between regions. According to data from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), these weeks have recorded precipitation above the historical average in several areas of the country. A wetter than usual start to the year has been consolidated.

Throughout these weeks, the rains have dominated the meteorological landscape in much of the national territory, with particular intensity in areas of the north and northwest.

Although not all regions have experienced this excess of water equally, the figures demonstrate something. This January has exceeded precipitation records from previous years in multiple points of the Spanish geography.

AEMET anticipates that the rainy trend will continue during the last week of the month. Although the intensity and distribution of the rains may vary, no significant changes in the current dynamics are expected until the end of January.

A February with Less Rain in Sight

With the start of February, the meteorological outlook could take a significant turn. The anomaly maps published by AEMET for the first two weeks of the month make it clear what will happen with the rains. The level of precipitation will be considerably lower than usual in much of the country.

Although the agency hasn't detailed the exact amounts of expected precipitation, it does emphasize that both the first and second weeks of February will be drier compared to historical records.

This is something Jorge Rey, famous for his long-term predictions, hasn't yet talked about. This time one of the only forecasts available is from AEMET, so it will be necessary to wait for the days to pass to see what the rest of the experts say.

Regional Variations: the Mediterranean Remains Stable

Despite this change in trend announced by AEMET, not all areas of Spain will experience the same reduction in rain. In the Mediterranean region, precipitation will remain within typical values for this time of year, without significant anomalies.

On the contrary, the rest of the country could record amounts notably lower than usual, marking a drier start to February than expected.

Impact and Recommendations

While January bids farewell with generous rains, February could bring a hydric respite in many areas of the country. This contrast highlights the climatic variability characteristic of this time of year, marking a transition that will be key to planning activities and resources for the coming weeks.

The shift toward a drier period could have implications in various sectors, from agriculture to water resource management. AEMET urges continued monitoring of meteorological updates, as these preliminary forecasts could be adjusted based on the evolution of atmospheric conditions.
