The dana Adam was set to keep warnings in place for five provinces on Tuesday, 20 October, following intense rain and storms on the Mediterranean coast, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). Warnings covered Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera, as well as Barcelona and Girona. Yellow warnings for rain were also issued for Jaén, La Palma and El Hierro, while Barcelona and Girona had yellow storm warnings. Girona also had a warning for coastal phenomena.
Elsewhere on the peninsula, Tuesday was forecast to be steadier, with mostly clear or partly cloudy skies. Isolated rain was expected in Andalusia, central Spain and the Cantabrian coast, and it could be locally strong in Jaén. Rain was due to ease from south to north during the day, with the northwest the exception, where an approaching front would cover the sky. Snow was expected at high altitudes in the Pyrenees.
Maximum temperatures were forecast to fall in the Balearics, Galicia and the southwest, change little in the Canaries and rise in the rest of the country. The biggest rises were expected on the eastern fringe of the peninsula and in the northeast interior. Minimums were due to drop slightly to moderately across the peninsula and the Balearics, with weak frost in mountains in the far north. Westerly winds were forecast to dominate the peninsula, light at first.
In the Canaries, cloudy skies with showers were expected, possibly strong and persistent on El Hierro and not ruled out on La Palma. Morning fog banks were forecast in mountain areas and on both central plateaus.
