The fields are flooded again

Is what we see in this photograph in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia a new lake? No, it's a field full of stagnant water from the last few rains.

This image had not been seen in Catalonia for a long time as a result of the persistent drought in recent months.

But, as a result of the last rains, there are quite a few fields with puddles, which in a few days, if it does not rain again, will disappear, thus becoming ephemeral lakes or ponds.

This image, in particular, I have captured in a field of Gurb, a large municipality in the Osona region, where the rains have been noticeable.

According to the forecast of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), the remnants of the cold storm Óscar will continue to affect the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands over the weekend, with occasional rainfall and storms in large areas and especially in the afternoon and inland.
