Last Friday, October 25, the famous Twitter farmer known as The Palleteer He published a video on his networks warning about everything that was happening on the weather radars in Valencia, saying: “Almost no one knows, but for a few days those of us who watch the weather radar, because there is already a little rain, you can see how it is approaching the Valencian Community and the entire Mediterranean coast and part of Andalusia, a DANA.
He explained that “if you look, today October 25, the rain radar will see how it is not working. The radar here in Valencia does not work. “When people go out on the roads, they don’t know where it’s raining.” In the video, he complains about who is responsible for all this, referring to the Central Administration and stating that he “spends money in beach bars if they exist.”

“They could give explanations from AEMET. I would like AEMET to contact me and give me an explanation because this seems very big to me. “We will have to clarify responsibilities if accidents occur when people go out on the roads,” the farmer warned a week earlier. We will therefore have to see if, in the end, as he says The Palleteerresponsibilities are refined.
Faced with the seriousness of these accusations, the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) had to come forward to deny them. “The Valencia radar, key to weather monitoring, has been operating without interruption since the morning of October 28,” the state agency said in a press release.
