Today and tomorrow: red alert in this community for what is going to happen in the coming hours

The storm associated with the Herminia squall has hit a large part of Spain with force. It leaves a complicated weather outlook for the rest of this Sunday and all of Monday.

Intense rains, strong gusts of wind, and an especially adverse sea state will mark the coming hours. However, the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has indicated that there is an area that will be the most affected, with a particularly high risk on its Atlantic coasts.

Red Alerts: Maximum Alert for Coastal Phenomena

Starting from Sunday afternoon, AEMET has activated the red alert for wingere coastal phenomena in part of Galicia. Specifically on the northwest and west coast of A Coruña.

This alert level, the highest on the scale, will be in effect from 6:00 PM, when the storm is expected to reach its most critical point. A combined sea episode with significant waves between 8 and 10 meters (26 and 33 feet) is expected. Occasionally, waves could reach heights between 10 and 12 meters (33 and 39 feet).

The situation will not stop there. On Monday, the red alert will remain for the same areas of the Coruña coast and will be extended to other areas of Galicia.

From noon, the southwest of A Coruña, the Rías Baixas in Pontevedra, and the Miño area will also be under this wingere alert. Waves could also reach 10 meters (33 feet) in height.

Marine Storm in the Atlantic and Western Cantabrian

AEMET had already warned that this storm would particularly affect the sea state on the Galician Atlantic coasts, progressively extending to the western Cantabrian. According to forecasts, waves will begin to exceed 8 meters (26 feet) from Sunday afternoon on the northwest coasts, extending to other areas as the hours progress.

This phenomenon poses a serious risk to navigation, as well as to coastal towns, where the impact of the waves and strong winds can cause material damage.

Recommendations from Emergencies Galicia

In this situation of wingere risk, Emergencies 112 Galicia has urged the population to remain alert and follow the recommendations of the authorities. It has been requested to avoid outdoor activities in coastal areas and to respect the signs placed in danger areas.

The Herminia squall has brought widespread rains and intense wind to much of the Spanish territory, but the most severe impact will be experienced in Galicia. Authorities remind the importance of following weather alerts and avoiding unnecessary risk situations, especially in coastal areas affected by the red alert.
