On the first day of March, the weather situation on the Iberian Peninsula is varied, but with a clear emphasis on warnings for dangerous phenomena in southern and eastern Spain. The Spanish state meteorological agency AEMET has activated numerous yellow alerts, mainly for coastal phenomena. These warnings are in effect on Monday, March 2, in regions such as Murcia, Andalusia, Valencia, and the Canary Islands. They concern risks associated with strong winds and high waves, which can be dangerous for navigation and coastal activities. Specific towns covered by the alerts include Alicante, Almería, Benidorm, Cartagena, Cádiz, El Ejido, Garrucha, Gandia, Níjar, Torrevieja, and Valencia. In Seville, a new atmospheric front is expected to arrive during the week, bringing torrential rains and storms. In other parts of the country, such as Toledo, Cáceres, Ciudad Real, Teruel, Tarragona, Zaragoza, Vigo, or A Coruña, forecasts for Monday are less alarming, though not without cloud cover and possible precipitation. The Community of Madrid begins the week with the presence of Saharan dust, known as calima, and the possibility of scattered showers. The meteorological warning system in Spain, managed by AEMET, operates on a four-level color scale: green (no risk), yellow (risk), orange (significant risk), and red (extreme risk). Alerts are issued for specific phenomena, such as wind, precipitation, waves, snow, or storms, and aim to inform the public and services about potential hazards.There is no information in the latest articles about extreme rainfall forecasts of around 100 l/m² in Valencia, which appeared in previous reports, nor about orange alerts in the Canary Islands. The latest bulletins focus mainly on yellow alerts on the coasts. There are also no mentions of intense phenomena in Central Europe, such as a "spring peak" of heat in Italy or a cloud of Saharan dust over Switzerland and Germany. Current information indicates typical, albeit somewhat stormy, March weather in Spain with local difficulties, mainly on the Mediterranean coast.
