A tweet from AEMET this morning read: ‘For now, the Valencia storms are not static and move from south to north so, although they have very strong intensity, they are short-lived. In Alicante, there is practically only rain left in the Marina Alta. Radar images from the last 3 hours’.

Sunday, September 17

Sunday will start with cloudy intervals, tending to cloudy skies in the afternoon. Showers and storms of some intensity are predicted in the interior of the provinces of Valencia and Castellón, where they could even be locally strong.

In the rest of the Valencian territory, they will be probable but in a more dispersed and weak way. The probable dust in suspension will continue and temperatures will not register many changes, except for the increase in minimum temperatures in the interior.

Maximum temperatures will remain at values ​​very close to 30°C during the central hours of the day on the Valencian coast.

Monday, September 18

Looking ahead to Monday there will be a transition in the weather, will slightly cloudy skies and intervals of high clouds. Temperatures will drop slightly on the coast and more markedly in the interior.

Tuesday, September 19

Tuesday will begin with slightly cloudy skies but as the day progresses the Valencian Community could be immersed in the effects of a DANA that is already anticipated by AEMET in its weekly forecast.

In the southern third of the region, cloudiness will grow, without ruling out the possibility of rain, although weak. Minimum values will drop slightly and maximum temperatures will not register many changes.

There is total uncertainty about the weather after Tuesday although the DANA will continue to affect various parts of the mainland during Wednesday 20 and Thursday 21.

It remains to be determined by AEMET exactly how much this new storm will affect the Valencian territory. What seems clear at the moment though is that during those days, instability will be the total protagonist.
