The DANA (Isolated Depression at High Altitude) has left a devastating impact across eastern Spain, bringing severe flooding and almost a hundred casualties. The phenomenon has been particularly deadly in communities like Valencia, where at least 70 lives have been lost in hard-hit areas.
The situation remains critical, with many people missing and emergency services actively responding across affected zones.
Concerns Rise Over Possible DANA Impact on the Canary Islands
As the DANA continues its path of destruction, there is growing concern that it could affect other regions, including the Canary Islands. Heavy rains have already been recorded across various areas of the archipelago, raising anxieties among residents and local authorities.
According to the Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet), while the Canary Islands will experience a shift in weather over the next few days, it won’t mirror the extreme conditions seen on the mainland.
The forecast for Thursday includes mostly clear skies in the morning, followed by increasing cloud cover in the interior and southern regions of the islands by afternoon. Temperatures are expected to remain steady, with a slight decrease in minimums, and light winds predominantly from the north.
These forecasts suggest that the Canary Islands will see relatively stable weather compared to the severe conditions impacting the Valencian region.
Experts Rule Out Major Impact of DANA on the Canary Islands
Meteorologists report that, although the Canary Islands have seen intense rain recently, there is little expectation that the DANA currently impacting eastern Spain will reach the archipelago. Aemet forecasts light, occasional showers for the coming days, with no severe weather phenomena expected.
Unlike the situation in eastern Spain, the Canary Islands are not predicted to experience extreme or prolonged weather events. Any rainfall will be moderate and brief, allowing people to maintain their routines without disruption.
