In Spain, cold drops often cause intense rainfall and are created by the interaction of upper-level low pressure systems strangled and ultimately detached from the zonal (eastward) circulation displaying stationary or retrograde (westward) circulation with humid and warmer air masses provided by an overheated Mediterranean in the Autumn.[1]

Spanish meteorologists also call this phenomenon Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos or DANA (English: “Isolated Depression at High Levels”).[1]
