Clearchos Marousakis proceeded to analyze the phenomenon that Spain is experiencing. The well-known meteorologist compared the conditions prevailing in the Iberian peninsula to what we experienced in our country with the bad weather Daniel.
“The residents of eastern Spain are experiencing a phenomenon similar to what we experienced last year in Thessaly. An extensive area of high pressure has spread over central Europe, this is an atmospheric mountain that means it prevents bad weather from moving from west to east. At the same time, any waves of bad weather that have formed in the southern parts of this barometric high remain trapped for several hours and several days.”the well-known meteorologist initially reported.
He then analyzed the phenomenon by emphasizing: “Storm waves interact for several hours with sea areas, with warm sea surfaces, it is difficult to identify the areas that will release the largest volume of water. A cold mass and a warm mass are coming. They collide with each other and in combination with the sea create the extreme phenomena that hit Spain”.
“It poured as much water as it pours all year in Athens”
“Meteorological stations showed in the Siva region, west of Valencia, 450 millimeters, which means 450 tons of water per hectare. In Valencia they gave about 180-200 millimeters. We are talking about an extreme situation. In one year, these millimeters of water fall in Athens. From satellite measurements, it is estimated that around 200-300 mm of rain fell in parts of Spain. These systems are trapped and eddy over warm sea areas, resulting in a feedback loop, so we’ll continue to see phenomena over the next few days.”he noted.
“We will see similar phenomena again in Greece”
Finally, he pointed out that we will face the specific climate phenomena again in our country: “Climate change creates widespread anticyclones. We will also face these atmospheric mountains in the coming years in Europe and other regions of the world. The seas act as heat reservoirs, storing amounts of heat, so when these storms form they are likely to interact for several hours. It is almost certain that we will also face them in our region”.
