About Víctor

Since I was 6 years old, I have been daily recording data on temperature, precipitation, pressure, humidity, wind, cloudiness, meteorological phenomena, snow depths, etc., in the center-east of Asturias. Since I was 12, I have been making daily meteorological forecasts with detailed monitoring for family and acquaintances, with special detail on winds at different altitudes and determining orographic factors in areas with complex orography like Asturias, but I can make forecasts for anywhere in the globe. On the other hand, I handle a large amount of daily data from many meteorological stations, automatically updated daily with Excel scripts and macros. I also manage the Historicoclimastur website with ERA5 data from the Copernicus website and my own historical data on snow depths and days of precipitation in the form of snow at different altitudes in Asturias. My studies are in Electrical Engineering, and I work professionally in this field, in addition to meteorology. For my final degree project in Electrical Engineering, I analyzed the most efficient way to distribute different renewable energy production technologies across the Iberian geography according to the various meteorological situations that affect the Peninsula throughout the year, in order to create the most efficient system possible, without excess production on favorable days and making the most of less favorable days. In this way, we can discuss how to use the mix of technologies to adapt other non-renewable technologies, connection systems, or storage that can act in the most convenient and efficient way when forming and managing the system.

  • Meteoelcollau
    Meteorological forecaster
    September 2002 - Today (23 years and 9 months)
    Daily analysis of numerical weather prediction models (ECMWF, GFS, UKMO, GEM, ICON, AROME, HARMONIE, WRF...) since 2002 to the present, making daily forecasts for family and acquaintances, with detailed monitoring of updates as the time approaches. Great advances in detailing complex orographic areas of Asturias, where the prediction of fog, drizzle, and snow levels is usually a challenge for each valley. Also, great focus on storm formation mechanisms, including supercells that may affect the Iberian Peninsula. Detailed analysis of wind direction and strength at each altitude, which is often crucial for anticipating events that models are not entirely clear about. Forecasts for practically any part of the globe.
