On August 24, 2025, a Dana storm is set to hit Valencia, triggering yellow weather alerts across several Spanish regions including the Comunitat Valenciana, Cataluña, Aragón, Castilla y León, Navarra, and La Rioja. The state meteorological agency AEMET forecasts heavy rains and thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoon.
Storm Arrival and Weather Warnings
The Dana will impact large areas such as the Ebro Valley, the Pyrenees, and parts of the Mediterranean coast. Morning showers and locally strong storms are expected along the Catalan coast, moving inland by afternoon. The warnings primarily affect Valencia and Castellón provinces starting early afternoon.
Temperature and Wind Conditions
Temperatures will drop in parts of western Spain and the Canary Islands but rise in the Balearic Islands and areas near the eastern Cantabrian coast. Some locations like Badajoz, Córdoba, and Murcia could exceed 35°C, while cities including Zaragoza, Almería, and Madrid are forecasted to stay above 30°C.
Winds will generally be light to moderate, with southern and eastern components in eastern Mediterranean areas, northeast winds along the Cantabrian coast and Galicia, and westerly to southwesterly winds elsewhere. The Canary Islands will experience moderate trade winds, occasionally strong.
Additional Weather Notes
While the storm dominates the eastern and southern regions, a less active front will approach from the northwest, bringing mostly clear skies and morning mist to Galicia, the Cantabrian coast, the upper Ebro, and parts of southeast Spain. Some isolated showers might appear in northern and eastern areas, with occasional strong ones in interior northeast zones and the southeast mountains.
Residents and travelers in the affected regions should stay alert to changing weather conditions and heed any official updates from local authorities.
