The Valencian community is preparing for a weekend characterized by strong northwesterly winds, which will reach speeds of up to 100 km/h in the northern interior of Castellón. According to forecasts by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), these adverse conditions will continue on Saturday and Sunday, especially affecting exposed areas in the interior and the coast of Castellon, Valencia and Alicante.
In addition to the wind, temperatures will fluctuate significantly. While maximum temperatures of 24°C will be reached in cities such as Valencia, milder values will be recorded in the northern interior, with a noticeable drop in higher areas.
Wind warnings: great danger in a large part of the territory
AEMET has issued several notices for this Saturday, January 11, including:
- The northern interior of Castellón: Maximum wind speeds of up to 100 km/h with high risk throughout the day.
- North and South Coast of Castellon: Winds of 90 km/h with moderate to high impact potential.
- Within Alicante and Valencia: gusts reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h, affecting mountainous and rural areas.
- Alicante Coast: Winds of up to 70 km/h, which may intensify the thermal sensation of cold.
For Sunday 12 January, wind intensity will decrease slightly, although it will remain strong in the exposed areas of the interior and the Castellon coast, with gusts of up to 80 km/h.
Weather forecast: Cloudy skies and possible light rain
On Saturday, the weather will be partly cloudy, turning clear in the afternoon in most parts of the country. Although no significant rain is expected, weak and scattered rain may be recorded in the northern Interior regions. Minimum temperatures will remain stable, while maximum temperatures will drop slightly in the interior of Castellón and rise slightly in Valencia and Alicante.
The “mastrada” will give way to extreme cold in Valencian society
Valencian society is preparing for a radical change in weather with the arrival of the “Mistralada” with very strong storms, which will subsequently bring temperatures down. This phenomenon will herald the return of winter after days of unusually high temperatures for the month of January.
With this situation, the Valencian region faces a weekend that, although it does not expect heavy rain, will bring with it windy weather.
