The Ayuntamiento de San Roque will keep parks, sports and cultural facilities and the Universidad Popular closed this Wednesday due to Aemet alerts.
CádizYa newsroom ·
The municipal parks, sports and cultural facilities in San Roque will be closed this Wednesday, November 11, and there will be no activity in the Universidad Popular (UP) workshops. The closure will remain in place while the alerts announced by the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (Aemet) remain in force, according to the Ayuntamiento.
The reason is the forecast of rain and, above all, strong wind for Wednesday afternoon. Aemet has activated a yellow warning for rain and an orange alert for winds and coastal phenomena in the Strait area. The Ayuntamiento asks the public to avoid travel and take extreme caution.
20 litres of rain in one hour
The yellow warning for rain runs from 12 noon to midnight. 20 litres per square metre are expected in one hour and 60 litres accumulated over those twelve hours.
The orange alert for wind, which means significant risk, forecasts south-westerly gusts of up to 100 kilometres per hour in the same time slot, between noon and midnight. Added to this is the alert for coastal phenomena, with waves that can reach four or five metres on the coast.
The closure affects anyone who had planned to use those spaces or attend the UP workshops during the day on Wednesday. The reopening has no fixed time: it will depend on when the alerts are lifted.
