Bad weather: ‘temporal de llevant’ arrives

Sunday brought a ‘temporal de llevant’ to Catalunya, which is set to last until Tuesday.

The llevant is the easterly wind, which, during this weather phenomenon, brings cold, rain and high seas to Catalunya.

It’s caused by a meterological depression combined with high winds, referred to as DANA in the weather reports.

Weather warnings have been issued for high seas, wind and heavy rain, particularly along the coast.

Gusts of 90km are predicted later today for El Perelló.
