An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

All territories of Spain are subject to droughts to some degree given the location of the country to the south of the westerlies, although their impact and frequence is uneven. Droughts occur when precipitation is considerably reduced during the theoretically rainy months of the year. Four types of climatic droughts can be defined: Cantabrian (coyuntural and low-frequence droughts), Iberian (droughts usually affecting the entire Iberian Peninsula, except the Cantabrian façade), southeastern (structural droughts, the mirror opposite of the Cantabrian ones) and Canarian droughts.

dbo:abstract
  • All territories of Spain are subject to droughts to some degree given the location of the country to the south of the westerlies, although their impact and frequence is uneven. Droughts occur when precipitation is considerably reduced during the theoretically rainy months of the year. Four types of climatic droughts can be defined: Cantabrian (coyuntural and low-frequence droughts), Iberian (droughts usually affecting the entire Iberian Peninsula, except the Cantabrian façade), southeastern (structural droughts, the mirror opposite of the Cantabrian ones) and Canarian droughts. The drought, along with high winds and fallen cables, is being looked at as a prime causal factor in forest fires. In 2012 Spain experienced the driest period since the 1940s, with rainfall decreased by up to 75%. (en)
