A low pressure system is bringing heavy rains that threaten flooding in several areas of Spain and Portugal in the coming days.

Arab Weather - Advanced weather maps at the Arab Weather Regional Center show the growing influence of the Azores high pressure system over the waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean, reaching northwestern Europe, causing a very cold air mass accompanied by a deep low pressure system to rush from the north to the south, crossing Portugal and Spain starting Friday, bringing very heavy rains that threaten the risks of torrents and floods.

A low pressure system with high atmospheric activity will affect Portugal and Spain in the coming days

In detail, weather experts at the Arab Weather Center reported that as a result of the undulation of the polar jet stream, a very cold air mass is rushing towards southern Europe. A highly effective low pressure system is formed, accompanied by heavy thunderclouds, resulting in heavy rains and severe thunderstorms. This type of weather condition is also accompanied by strong ascending air currents, leading to strong hailstorms accompanied by large hailstones, which damage public property.

Heavy rains will be brought by the weather system to Spain in the coming days

As cold air passes over the ocean surface, and tropical moisture extends, weather activity intensifies over southern Europe, particularly Spain. High-altitude thunderclouds form, accompanied by heavy rains, including the capital Madrid and the city of Barcelona.

The weather system is expected to bring heavy rainfall amounts ranging from 100 to 200 mm, which increases the risk of flash floods, landslides and flooding, especially after the soil became saturated with water as a result of the recent heavy rains.

God knows best.
