Currently, the state of the damage is not yet known with precision. However, the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET) recorded between the 19th and the 21th of January, downpours up to 200mm / m² and wind gusts reaching 90km / h as well as localized hailstorms. This bad weather affected the citrus growing areas from Valencia to Alicante as well as that of the North of Castellon. According to the first estimates, a significant part of the ending varieties such as Clemenules, Clemenvilla and Hernandina suffered losses. On the other hand, the varieties that just started their campaign, such as Tango and Nadorcott should suffer little losses.
