[cat] La borrasca Glòria, va ser anomenada per l’AEMET el divendres 17 de gener de 2020 a les 00:00 UTC (01:00 hlp) a causa de l'emissió d'avisos de nivell vermell i taronja per ratxes de vent, pluja, neu i fenòmens costaners a partir de la matinada de diumenge 19 de gener a gran part del nord i est peninsular, així com a les Balears. Al llarg del dia 20, la borrasca Glòria va ser absorbida per uns sistema depressiu de major grandària centrat al sud de la península Ibèrica i les Illes Balears. Els avisos de l’AEMET de fenòmens costaners de nivell vermell van afectar la major part dels litorals de les Balears, Catalunya i Comunitat Valenciana entre els dies 19 i 20, perllongant-se durant el 21 a Catalunya. A la resta de litorals de la Mediterrània es van emetre avisos de nivell taronja o groc. La borrasca generada, va repercutir a les Illes Balears amb un temporal de vent, pluja i a la mar. Els registres meteorològics inusuals i els danys causats sobretot al litoral del sud de Menorca i Llevant de Mallorca han donat fe de l’agressivitat de la mar quan les condicions són favorables. S’han visitat jaciments litorals del Pleistocè superior de Mallorca per tal d’avaluar els danys soferts rere el temporal., [eng] The stormy event which started on Friday January 17th 2020 at 00:00 UTC (01:00 local time) was called Gloria by the AEMET (Spanish Meteorological Agency) due by the red and orange level warnings with strong wind gusts, snow and coastal stormy events.
