this will be the autumn of 2050 in Galicia

What will the weather be like in autumn 2050? Sometimes it is already difficult to predict whether it will rain or not two or three days from now, how to venture to forecast it for three decades, right? But yes, there are already experts who make reports on the evolution of meteorology, in which the phenomenon known as climate change will undoubtedly have an important weight.

The autumns of 2050 will have maximum temperatures typical of the hottest summerTropical nights will also increase and there will be a higher temperature in the Mediterranean with a greater probability of Isolated Depressions at High Levels (DANA), according to Eltiempo.es.

Thus, the temperatures forecast for autumn 2050 will be 2ºC or 3ºC higher than at the end of the last century. The maximums could exceed 40ºC as in Seville (42ºC) or around 39ºC in Badajoz, 37ºC in Ciudad Real or 36ºC in Zaragoza. What’s more, there are likely to be warmer fifteen days in a row on the northern plateau and 17 in the south.

Another characteristic phenomenon, according to Eltiempo.es, will be rainfall, since fewer days of rain may be recorded in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands than at the end of the last century. In Galicia there will be between seven and ten days less of rain, as in Castilla y León, Cantabria and Asturias.

For their part, the south and east of the country will have one to three days less rainfall. Of the 91 days of autumn, in 2050 it may not rain 71 days in eastern Catalonia and the Balearic Islands and 72 dry days are also expected in the Tagus basin, 73 in the Júcar and Segura and between 74 and 76 in the Guadiana and Andalusia. It will also be normal that the Guadalquivir does not rain for thirteen days in a row and around 17 days without rain in Huelva and the Balearic Islands.

According to the projections of the meteorological page, the Mediterranean will continue to warm and before 2050 it will have done so at more than 1.25ºC compared to the end of the last century in the surroundings of the Balearic archipelago.

Stormy episodes

For this reason, a higher frequency of DANAs is expected in autumn, the impact of which will be more serious than the current ones, especially in September, as the sea is very hot and torrential storms and rainfall are expected.

The northeast and the center of the country the days in which ten liters per square meter are exceeded will increase, a trend that will be more significant in eastern Catalonia, while in the rest of the Peninsula they will tend to decrease up to ten days or even less in the case of Andalusia.
