What will Gloria drunk and how long will it last?
The State Meteorological Agency has decreed the red alert since Sunday afternoon throughout the north coast of Alicante for the stormy baptized as Gloria.
The meteorologists took days warning of the prediction that pointed to a somewhat unusual situation in the area. Especially at sea, where the temporary consider it to be historic, with waves that can reach 8 meters, forcing them to set the maximum alert level, so The City Council has begun to take measures to curb the possible deterioration of the Dianense coast.
As well they place the red alert, and this is more extraordinary, due to extreme snow risk. Yes, yes, apparently in the region we will see the snow again at levels very close to the sea. Could it snow in Dénia? Experts say that it is impossible to determine what will happen with the snow until it starts to fall, but at the moment it seems that some snowflake could fall although it will hardly curdle in the city (not so much in the Montgó). The level some predictions put it in the 500 meters and others in the 300. Very low, no doubt. But, as they insist, until it starts it will not be known.
In addition, they are joined by two orange alerts, which should not be underestimated either, due to the risk of the strong wind, with gusts that could reach 100km / h, and rainfall in the form of rain, accumulating 100mm in 12 hours (abundant but quite common in the Marina Alta).
The alerts will begin to activate as of noon today, Sunday, with the red one for snow from 12:00 and until 12:00 on Monday. She will be followed by the red of the coastal storm from 18:00 PM on Sunday until 13:00 PM on Monday, then turning orange. In the same way, heavy rains and wind will begin during noon on Sunday and will last 24 hours, until noon on Monday in the case of rain and until 09:00 on Monday the wind.
