The Generalitat Valenciana has formally rejected the proposal to establish a Valencian Meteorological Service, which would operate alongside the Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet) and other institutions, similar to the systems in place in other Spanish autonomous communities like the Basque Country, Galicia, and Catalonia. This decision comes after criticism directed at Aemet for its handling of recent weather events, notably the intense storms affecting the region.

Despite the demand from the Compromís political group for the creation of this new meteorological service, the Valencian government under President Juanfran Pérez Llorca, of the PP party, does not view the initiative as necessary. They assert that the existing meteorological information provided through Aemet suffices for the region’s needs, reflecting a stance of reliance on national resources rather than developing an independent regional agency.

The decision could spark further debate over the efficacy of Aemet’s services, especially during times of crisis such as the recent dana (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos), where regional authorities have felt that inadequate forecasting has led to public safety concerns. The Generalitat's position may impact future discussions about regional autonomy in meteorological services and the broader implications of climate adaptability in the face of increasing weather instability.
