Summer heat and storms due to the approach of a DANA (isolated high-altitude depression): Aemet (Spanish State Meteorological Agency) issues alert for high temperatures and heavy rainfall across half of Spain

Spain is currently experiencing a period of extreme meteorological instability characterized by unseasonably high summer temperatures followed by the arrival of a DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels). The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued alerts across half of the country, warning of both intense heat and severe precipitation events.

These conditions are part of a broader trend of record-breaking weather patterns in September. The current climate data indicates that the country is reaching thermal milestones that have no historical precedent for this time of year.
