was more than one to blow. authentic scorching air pump fell in the western part of the enclosure. jellyfish sun beach festival Radial winds at past four o’clock in the morning of 13 August 70 and 100 kilometers per hour and deadly destruction, first in vertical impact, then in intense horizontal explosions. This is the main conclusion of the technician from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), who prepared the main report. expert report of the meteorological event who killed that night Injured a young 22-year-old man and 40 more and Sueca said it was done at the request of Investigative Judge No.
Its expert details statemento morning, a series the raging stormsCovering the sky from Murcia North C. Valencia comes from within the country, they arrived shortly after.p 03:00 to the coastal and pre-coastal area, where the sea breeze causes a thin layer clean and moist air, origin hot blast –the dry one is produced only domestically–.
this essence of tragedy consisted of Over 4 kilometers altitude, in the lower layers of that dense storm cloud. this hot weather This meant that the rains that occurred at that point in the atmosphere did not reach the earth, but rather evaporated at altitudes, creating the perfect conditions. dense column of air that will collapse at high speedso, so explosion occurred.
this radar indicator Valencia, located on cullera mountain, The dizzying collapse recorded at 4:00, 04:10 and 04:20 was accelerated by the rise in temperature – about 40ºC, at a rate of 10º for each kilometer of descent.
The technician concludes: “IThe festival area and the western part of the festival were affected Most likely 70 and 100 km/h, mostly in the western part of the enclosure, due to a hot eruption of convective origin falling from a height of 4 kilometers and “causing a sudden increase in temperature, a sharp drop in relative humidity and very strong wind gusts”, “alternating between” , weaker in the eastern part”.
this The effects were doubly devastating. For one thing, the cool, moist layer in the area was so thin that it could not soften the blow of the hot column of air, so it exploded without resistance against the ground. Then, in a typical behaviorn convective hot blastwith very strong horizontal lines. Wind estimated between 70 and 100 kilometers per hour, which produced “ups and downs”, rotors with axis parallel to the groundsometimes causing ‘crushing’ structures and other times causing upward vertical thrusts”.
This explains, in the opinion of the technician who visited the site twice, to analyze the situation. tragedy scene in situ, capricious damage to the premises, the ability to overturn the entrance structure, Death of 22-year-old Daimiel (Ciudad Real) and other nearby elements remained intact.
“As if the air was on fire”
As a graphic example, the report collects some statements describing the environment, such as the testimony of a witness who said “it was as if the air had burned.” this weather station The nearest, That of Polinyà de Xúquer, located at 12 kilometers jellyfish straight lineIt recorded a 9.3º C rise in 50 minutes – from 26.5º at 3:10 pm to 35.8º at 4:00 am — and within 20 minutes the humidity was 40% from 70% to 40% at 3%. It fell to :30 am , 29% to 3.50–.
