This week in Spain is being an example of what should be usual in autumn: changing weather. A “dance of little DANAs”, as defined by Meteored, caused by the anticlonic wedge in the north of the European continent puts several Mediterranean communities on alert as of Thursday. The movement began on Wednesday, with the passage of a front that brought rains, especially significant on the Catalan coast. Barcelona, for example, has recorded rainfall that has not occurred for more than two months. After passing this front, it is the turn of a DANA. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) expects this Thursday and this Friday that DANA will bring “significant” rain to Mediterranean communities.
A #dana will generate stormy showers in the Mediterranean area starting Thursday. It is a typical autumnal situation, not extreme, but locally it can be adverse and we must be attentive to possible incidents, such as floods of dry riverbeds or accumulations of water in low-lying areas. pic.twitter.com/Z7q8638RdU

The rains will be very intense in points in the east and the Balearic Islands: in some areas they could accumulate ? more than 100 l/m2.
The DANA ➰ will be located tomorrow on the vertical of the peninsular southeast.

High pressures will strengthen in central and northern Europe, which will lead very humid air from the east to the Mediterranean coasts. Heavy downpours are expected in the southeast of the Spanish coast, the Gulf of Valencia and the Balearic Islands. In Catalonia, the Generalitat has warned of the risk of heavy rains starting Friday morning in the southern counties.
