Storm Joseph: Cádiz on Alert for Heavy Rainfall and Strong Winds
Following storm Ingrid, the province of Cádiz is preparing for the arrival of **Joseph**, a new storm that will bring an intense carousel of fronts and associated rainfall. The Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (Aemet) has activated the **yellow warning** for the entire Cádiz coastline, anticipating heavy rain throughout Tuesday morning and wind gusts of up to **90 kilometers per hour** in locations such as Cádiz.
Forecast of Prolonged Instability
The last week of January and the first days of February are shaping up to be **very unstable** in the province. Widespread and continuous Atlantic-origin rainfall episodes are expected, which could have adverse effects on ground that is already saturated with moisture. Strong winds on the Cádiz coast will also trigger warnings for **coastal phenomena**.
Joseph: The First Significant Front
Joseph will mark the start of significant rainfall in the province. Although the worst of it will be concentrated in the north of the Península, with a red warning in Galicia, other areas such as Cádiz will experience intense rainfall. On Monday, the province will be completely overcast with a **100% probability of precipitation**, although without major accumulations.
Yellow Warnings and Precautions
It will be on Tuesday, January 27 when Aemet activates the yellow warnings. In Grazalema and el Estrecho, rainfall accumulations are expected that could exceed **70 liters in 12 hours** and **20 liters in one hour**. The wind will also play a key role, with gusts of up to **70 km/h** and force 7 combined seas. The Ayuntamiento de Cádiz has recommended **exercising extreme caution**, proceeding to close outdoor parks and sports courts.
Short-Term Outlook
The weather will not improve substantially on Wednesday, January 28, with another overcast day and a **100% probability of precipitation** that is widespread and continuous until Thursday. A brief respite is expected on Friday, but a new front will enter late in the day, setting up an unstable weekend, albeit with a lower volume of rain.
Historical Rainfall Accumulations
Predictive models point to **historical accumulations** during the first few days of the week. Grazalema could reach close to **200 liters per square meter** between Monday and Thursday, with **51 liters expected for Tuesday** and **68 for Wednesday**. Villaluenga del Rosario would also approach this figure, with **53 liters on Tuesday** and **73 on Wednesday**. For its part, Cádiz city would record nearly **40 liters** during the same period.
This event, which will extend into early February, is characterized by abundant, widespread, and lasting precipitation. The explanation lies in the arrival of **atmospheric rivers** at the Península, plumes of moisture that, stalled by a block between Groenlandia and Escandinavia, travel through lower latitudes than usual, soaking already saturated grounds.
