Mario Picazo warns of the DANA arriving this week with very heavy rain in this area

The anticyclone will bring calm until midweek, but the arrival of the DANA will change everything in some areas.

With the start of the new week, new predictions from the most influential meteorologists, like Mario Picazo, also arrive. The expert has analyzed the changes that could occur in the coming days.

Although initially stability and sunshine will be prominent, it is not advisable to let one's guard down. The renowned expert has issued a clear warning. A DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels) could break into Spain in a few days and cause a significant change in the weather.

A start to the week with instability in the south

The week begins with unstable weather in several areas of the southern and southeastern peninsula, as well as in Ceuta and Melilla. Rain, snow, and strong winds have led to the activation of yellow warnings in several provinces of Andalusia and Ceuta. Moderate to heavy precipitation is expected throughout this morning.

This episode of instability is associated with the presence of cold air at high altitudes, which has been affecting the Mediterranean in recent days. However, this cold air will gradually retreat. This, Mario Picazo states, will allow the anticyclone to strengthen and stabilize the situation in most of the country.

The anticyclone will bring sun and calm midweek

Between Tuesday and Friday, Mario Picazo says, most of Spain will enjoy clear skies and a more stable environment. Clouds will be prominent in some parts of the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean area, and the north of the Peninsula, but without causing significant precipitation.

Meanwhile, temperatures will remain at values typical for the season, with cold early mornings and slightly warmer days. However, this period of stability will be just a pause before a significant weather change.

Saturday of changes: Mario Picazo warns of the approaching DANA

If current forecasts hold, Mario Picazo warns that next Saturday will mark the beginning of a complete shift in the weather situation. Cloudiness is expected to increase simultaneously from two fronts: the northwest and the Mediterranean.

The first precipitation will arrive from the Atlantic, moving toward the interior of the Peninsula. Meanwhile, from the east, instability will gain ground with rain affecting several Mediterranean provinces.

Andalusia in the spotlight: "strong or very strong" precipitation

One of the key points in this weather change will be the southern peninsula. According to Mario Picazo, the development of a DANA in this area could generate intense or even "very strong" precipitation in southern Andalusia and the Alboran Sea.

This type of meteorological system is difficult to predict accurately until it gets closer to the territory. It will be necessary to pay attention to the evolution of the models in the coming days. However, if this trend is confirmed, some southern provinces could be affected by torrential rains and significant wind gusts.

For now, Mario Picazo and other experts insist that, although the first days of the week may give a sense of calm, the situation could change drastically with the arrival of the weekend.
