Countrywide rainfall still inconsistent
The national average value of accumulated rainfall from the beginning of the hydrological year (October 1, 2023) until May 14 is estimated at 521 l/m 2, which represents around 6% more than the normal value corresponding to said period (492 l/m 2).
The quantities exceed normal values in the western and interior half of the Peninsula, in the eastern part of the Basque Country, in Navarra, in the western half of the Pyrenees and in the north of Aragon.
On the other hand, they are below their normal values in the eastern third, as well as in Asturias, Cantabria and part of Andalusia. They are especially low in a strip in the eastern peninsula from Almería to the Ebro delta and in the archipelagos.
