All experts agree that at the dawn of this weekend, we must be ready to visualize certain phenomena. The first major storm front arrives, strongly affecting a very specific part of the population. We will have to be aware of what will end up happening in the days ahead of us and which may be essential for everyone.
Meteorologists fear
We are faced with a situation that evolves from time to time. and this could end up being what marks a before and an after. In everyday life we have to face a situation very similar to the one we might find ourselves in at the end of winter or during the coldest and most unstable season.
The time will have come to start feeling the bad weather that is setting in. We will leave behind us a San Miguel summer that took us away from the heavy rains of this month of September and we will enter a month of October that would take us away from what would be usual.
Without a doubt, this moment will have arrived to be able to reinforce certain situations, such as the change of course which can end up being what makes us react in time. We have to face unusual situations that will hit us hard.
From the sun and heat of these days we will move on to almost hurricane force rains and winds that will affect us in conditions that could be essential and that we may not have considered or expected until here. The situation may change from time to time, as we reach a date marked on the calendar, October 4.
Tomorrow the dangerous “Cordonazo de San Francisco” arrives in Spain and we are not prepared
On the calendar, in the same way that we know that San Miguel can have good weather, we must take into account that in San Francisco the situation can be radically different. We are faced with a situation of instability which risks fully affecting us.
We continue with the forecast from El Tiempo: “This year October 4 falls on a Friday and on that day we hope that the rains brought by an atmospheric river will still continue in some areas of Spain. Between Wednesday and Thursday, the rains will affect the north of the peninsula and will also reach the Mediterranean. The latest forecasts suggest that there will still be traces of instability on Friday. Heavier rains could occur in parts of the southeast of the peninsula such as Alicante, Murcia and Almería, but also in areas of the southern plateau or south of Galicia. It will also rain in the Balearic Islands and is not excluded in others. areas of the Mediterranean, such as eastern Catalonia or other parts of the Valencian Community. Looking ahead to the weekend, stability would again prevail in almost the entire country, except in Galicia, where new fronts would arrive.
The only thing that does not seem to be true on these dates is the cold, which will appear in a moderate manner: “On Friday we expect the maximums to drop in parts of the Mediterranean, while they could increase in the north and the southwest Mediterranean. peninsula. They will continue to reach or exceed 30ºC in certain regions of Andalusia, Murcia and Extremadura. In the central area and in the Mediterranean, temperatures will be between 24ºC and 28ºC and towards the north they will be around 20ºC. The minimums will experience an almost general decrease and light frosts in the Pyrenees cannot be excluded.
It seems that we will have part of this phenomenon arriving in time for its appointment: “The “cordonazo de San Francisco” is a term that is used in meteorology in Spain (but more in the Spanish-speaking countries of South America) to designate describe a period of time unusually rainy and cold. It takes place around October 4, coinciding with the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. This expression refers to an atmospheric pattern that sometimes brings heavy rain and storms to the Iberian Peninsula on these dates. The relationship between the weather phenomenon known as Cordonazo de San Francisco and San Francisco de Asís comes from a popular belief passed down from generation to generation. The term “cordonazo” refers to a gust or blow, and in this context describes how storms and heavy rains seem to arrive suddenly, like a “whip” that shakes the region.
