On Sunday the rough weather will continue,” in response to Rubn Del Campo, spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

The Aemet prediction, collected by Servimedia, indicates that the hottest capitals could be Murcia this Saturday (26th) and Malaga, Murcia, Seville and Valencia on Sunday (23rd). On the other hand, it will be colder on Saturday in Burgos and León (11), and on Sunday in Vila (13).

“Except in these areas, in the remainder will probably be a chilly day for the season, particularly within the northwest of the peninsula, with most temperatures between 5 and 10 levels decrease than anticipated for this time of yr. Cities equivalent to Oviedo, Lugo or León will barely be round 11 to 13 levels of most temperature,” summarized Del Campo.

On Sunday, the unstable weather will continue in the eastern third of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands, with rains and showers that will be more likely and intense in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, where they could be stormy and strong.

In the rest of the country, evolution clouds will develop from midday, which in the afternoon will give rise to showers, especially in the northern half, although they will not be ruled out in the south.
