Although many areas saw significant rainfall this weekend, we will have to wait for the next update to see how that impacts the overall situation, but the national average value of accumulated rainfall from the beginning of the hydrological year (October 1, 2023) until May 28 is estimated at 536 l/m 2, which represents around 4% more than the normal value corresponding to said period (516 l/m 2 ).
Precipitation exceeds normal values in the western and interior half of the peninsula, in the Basque Country and Navarra and in the western half of the Pyrenees along with northern Aragon.
The accumulated quantities are below their normal values in the eastern third of the peninsula, southern half of Andalusia, Asturias, Cantabria and the two archipelagos.
They are especially low in the eastern part of the peninsula from Almería to the Ebro delta.
