The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has activated for this Wednesday a coastal warning of risk level in Ibiza and Formentera by the entry of wind from the north and northwest that will leave strong swell in the Pitiusas. According to the official forecast, the episode will begin at 00.00 hours and will last until 13.59 hours on November 26.
The storm will be characterized by winds of 50 to 60 km / h, corresponding to force 7 on the Beaufort scale, which will especially affect the most exposed areas of the coast pitiuso. The Aemet also expects waves of up to three meters, which will force to exercise extreme caution on beaches, ports and coastal areas where the sea usually impacts with greater force.
Although the most intense warnings are concentrated in Menorca, where the risk will be important (orange level) with waves that could reach between 4 and 6 meters and a maximum wave of up to 12 meters, in Ibiza and Formentera the storm will also be significant and could affect maritime operations, including routes between islands.
The episode is part of a strong northern situation that will also impact Mallorca, with active warnings in the Sierra de Tramontana and the south of the island. In both cases, winds of 40 to 60 km/h and waves close to three meters are expected.
