Although rain is amongst us in some parts of the country, it will not be enough to readdress the balance of the current shortfall.
The national average value of accumulated rainfall from the beginning of the hydrological year (October 1, 2022) to September 12, 2023, is estimated at 533 l/m 2, which represents around 12% less than the normal value corresponding to said period (609 l/m 2), according to the latest weekly data from the State Meteorological Agency, AEMET.
