'Explosively': Roberto Brasero warns these areas about tomorrow's storm
Brasero has wanted to warn several areas about the wind, rain, and waves that may occur tomorrow.
This Sunday, Spain faces the effects of the Herminia storm. A phenomenon that has formed "explosively" and has been classified as high impact in the meteorological list.
According to Roberto Brasero's forecasts, Herminia will bring heavy rains, hurricane-force winds, and a dangerous maritime storm. All of this will especially affect the northwest and north of the Peninsula.
Concentrated but Intense Rains: Roberto Brasero Says in Which Areas
Unlike Saturday, when the rainfall is more widespread, on Sunday Roberto Brasero expects the rains to be concentrated in fewer areas but with greater intensity.
Galicia will be the main focus, with accumulations that could exceed 100–120 mm throughout the day, especially in the west of the region. Significant rains are also expected in the west of the Central system, the Pyrenees, and the Cantabrian Mountains, where snowfalls could also occur at high altitudes.
In the Pyrenees, the snow level will be between 1400 and 1600 meters (4593 and 5249 feet). In the rest of the mountains, snowfalls will be limited to altitudes above 2000 meters (6562 feet). In the eastern facade of the peninsula, the rains will be more scattered and less likely.
Wind: the Main Protagonist of Sunday
The wind storm associated with Herminia will be notable in much of the country. Roberto Brasero warns of high-intensity gusts coming from the south and southwest. Galicia and the Cantabrian area will suffer the most severe impacts, with gusts that in mountainous areas could be hurricane-force.
These conditions will also extend to the Northern Plateau, the Iberian system, the Pyrenees, and the southeast coast. The speeds will range between 80 and 90 km/h (50 and 56 mph), although at high altitudes they could be even higher.
Rough Seas in the Atlantic and Cantabrian
The sea state will be especially complicated on the Galician Atlantic coasts. There, a combined sea from west to southwest is expected with waves that could exceed 7 meters (23 feet) of significant height. This maritime storm announced by Roberto Brasero will progressively extend toward the western Cantabrian during the afternoon, increasing the risk for navigation and coastal activities.
Sunday of Meteorological Challenges
The passage of Herminia will leave a complicated Sunday in the north and northwest of Spain, where the most significant impact is expected. Authorities recommend taking wingere precautions in the face of adverse conditions, avoiding unnecessary travel, and following updates from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
With hurricane-force winds, heavy rains, and a raging sea, Herminia positions itself as one of the most intense episodes of this winter season.
