Time for this Easter Holiday It is characterized by a major disturbance in Ireland, and at the end of the week another disturbance will develop near Galicia. Storms will send us arms of clouds and instability that translates into daily rain showers with a predominance of southern winds. Some days you should carefully follow the development of the forecast because it can vary from one day to another.
We saw our first spell of rain between Monday and Tuesday, and another spell is expected on Sunday. From this first round of rainfall, here is a map of the records that, as you can see, reached all parts of the country.
This rain is considered blessed water for forests and crops. Plants and fields have been under severe stress over the past few months due to the lack of rainfall and drought we have been experiencing over the past three years. This is very positive water for recharging aquifers, but on the other hand, it is completely insufficient to replenish the water reserves of reservoirs, especially those in inland basins. We need a good handful of headwater precipitation episodes that total more than 300mm, because our rainfall deficit is too high.
