Aemet predicts that autumn will be very warm and rainier than normal, which could help mitigate the drought

Autumn, which will begin on September 23 at 8:50 a.m. peninsular time, is expected to be very warm and rainier than normal, which could help mitigate the meteorological drought that affects the Iberian Peninsula as a whole.

The Aemet spokesperson, Rubén del Campo, presented this data this Thursday during a press conference led by the third vice president and acting minister for the Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, to present the forecast progress for the fall and an analysis of the summer. .

In recent years “we are facing longer and harsher droughts” but, if the forecasts are confirmed this autumn, this water shortage could be “cut off”, although “a very long period of abundant rains” would be needed. Del Campo explained.
