He Hurricane Isaac became one of the main protagonists This week, AEMET confirms what will happen in Spain. Hurricane season has begun and with it the fear that one of them will eventually reach our country. Especially in these times of instability and the fact that we are faced with a major thermal anomaly en route. This hurricane season and that means we will be aware of a situation that can completely hit us.
Spain is preparing to face a change in cycle that could become what marks a before and an after. This fall, we will experience important developments that will be accompanied by some elements that could be essential. Now will be the time to look beyond these immediate plans and prepare for a phenomenon that is not at all common. We have to see what will happen with a hurricane that is already wreaking havoc in the other part of the world. Isaac is one of the first hurricanes of the season, which despite the distance can have more than one surprise in store for us.
AEMET confirms this
AEMET experts have confirmed a situation which could be key and which could take us away from what would be usual. We are facing a series of significant changes that have moved us away from a cyclical shift that may be essential in every sense of the word.
We have before us an autumn where instability and bad weather have become a reality. Without a doubt, we have before us a series of elements that are coming and which will eventually become a harsh reality against which we must fight.
This is the time of year when we are most aware of a sky that can bring completely unexpected consequences. We are faced with a series of fundamental details that we may not have taken into account until now. Hurricane season has started and it has started in such a way that we need to start thinking about all that lies ahead.
Time becomes one of the protagonists and makes us pay attention to a situation that can end up being very different. Isaac makes us think of a paradise that could leave a historical process underway.
This is what will happen in Spain with Hurricane Isaac
Meteored experts are very clear on what lies ahead in the coming days that await us. A changing situation that can become a real problem that will fully affect us. We will have to be very aware of what awaits us.
It’ll be time to start thinking about what’s to come, following Meteored’s forecast: “The National Hurricane Center, NHC, is issuing forecasts and warnings for Tropical Storm Isaac intensifying into a hurricane in the coming hours, likely to first affect the Azores and, later, the maritime areas of the eastern part of the North Atlantic. With this in mind, some media have mentioned the arrival of a hurricane on the Spanish-Portuguese peninsular coasts. Nothing could be further from reality, according to the latest predictions. Yesterday, and on this same portal, we were talking about the two possible trajectories of Isaac, one towards the Iberian Peninsula and the other towards higher latitudes, more in accordance with the climate, which would take Isaac away from the Spanish coast.
This is a hurricane with particular characteristics: “According to the NHC, tropical storm Isaac is strengthening and there is a high probability that the system will become a hurricane in a few hours. The center of Isaac was, at 03 UTC 05 hpo, west of the Azores and approximately 2005 km away with sustained winds of 100 km/h and higher gusts. The tropical storm was moving eastward at approximately 19 km/h, with a minimum pressure of 992 hPa. This movement is expected with a turn more towards the east-northeast over the next few days (if this were the case, Isaac would move away from the Spanish coast). The NHC expects further strengthening over the coming days, and Isaac is expected to become a Category 1 hurricane. Rough seas and significant waves could already affect the Azores in the coming hours. Vertical wind shear remains below 20 kt, 37 km/h, while sea surface temperatures (SST) of between 26 and 27ºC for the next 24 hours are expected to allow further intensification. These two factors favor the development of this system. Subsequently, shear will begin to increase further, as SSTs also begin to cool, creating an unfavorable environment for further tropical development. These factors are expected to result in a stabilization of intensity, although cold temperatures aloft are expected to remain unstable enough to maintain moderate to deep convection near the system. At 72h, weakening is expected to begin, with an extratropical transition likely underway, ending early next week over the high latitudes of the North Atlantic.
The experts seem rather calm, as they say: “with logic and large uncertainties, Isaac is not expected to arrive as a named tropical cyclone on the peninsula. This could be indirectly affected by Isaac or his remains with his center of pressure away from Spain. Attention will need to be paid to new updates to probabilistic models and NHC predictions on Isaac.
