Valencia weather - DANA Alice could bring 200 mm of rain locally
We had announced that the weather conditions in eastern Spain would change starting Wednesday evening and that a DANA (cold drop) could occur. Now it's official: DANA Alice will bring heavy rain and flooding locally from Thursday until probably Monday, especially in the autonomous region of Valencia.

We have two weather models and want to compare the forecasts for some cities:
Accumulated rainfall for Denia with the GFS weather model: 83 mm of rain, ICON EU: 208 mm of rain
Accumulated rainfall for Benidorm with the GFS weather model: 58 mm of rain, ICON EU: Benidorm: 28 mm of rain
Accumulated rainfall for Valencia city with the GFS weather model: 84 mm of rain, ICON EU: 55 mm of rain
Accumulated rainfall for Cullera with the GFS weather model: 93 mm of rain, ICON EU: 235 mm of rain
Note: A forecast for a DANA (cold drop) is very complex, and you only get a reliable forecast a few hours in advance. Therefore, the current forecasts still have some uncertainty. We must therefore closely monitor the actual development, and our radar with NowCast and our NWCSAF GEO CRRPh are of course helpful in this regard.
