This Friday there isn’t a longer a warmth wave, which doesn’t imply that it’s going to not proceed to be very, highly regarded, as is suitable for this time of 12 months, in the midst of the canine days. According to Jesús Riesco, spokesman for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), most temperatures will fall throughout today, particularly within the Canary Islands and within the south and east of the peninsula, with will increase within the space of ​​the higher Ebro. Even so, thermometers will stay above 35° in massive areas of Andalusia, each plateaus, the northeast of the peninsula, the southern slopes of the Canary Islands and inland Mallorca and even 40° within the valleys of the southwest quadrant.

The orange warning, the second of a three-part scale, stays in place for Castile and Leon, Castile-La Mancha, Extremadura and the Community of Madrid, whereas the extent is yellow, the minimal, in Andalusia, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Catalonia, Navarre and La Rioja. In addition, extra storms are anticipated in mountain areas and within the centre and east of the peninsula, extra widespread than on Thursday and which can embody hail and “strong gusts of wind in the form of a downburst”.

The second wave of summer time ended on Thursday, a day wherein “temperatures fell in almost all of Spain, especially in the southeastern quadrant of the peninsula and, to a lesser extent, in areas of the north and east of the peninsula, while they rose in Gran Canaria. They even exceeded 40° in large areas of the centre and south of the peninsula and the maximum value, 42.4°, was recorded in Arganda del Rey (Madrid)”, summarises Riesco. And, once more, tropical nights have occurred this morning, wherein the thermometers don’t fall under 20°, in massive areas of the southern half of the peninsula and the Mediterranean space.

After a Friday of falling temperatures, stability will prevail over the weekend on the Peninsula and within the Balearic Islands, with usually few clouds and excessive temperatures. “Only in the north of Galicia and on the Cantabrian side, a front will leave precipitation on Saturday, although it cannot be ruled out in a scattered way for the rest of the weekend,” says the Aemet spokesperson. It can also be attainable that the occasional bathe or storm will fall within the mountains of the northern half and the southeast, that are extra seemingly and should have an effect on different areas on Sunday, when a dana – a pocket of air within the higher layers of the environment – will trigger a rise in instability. Calima is predicted on today within the western third of the Peninsula, though it can’t be dominated out within the centre, the southeast and the Balearic Islands.

Temperatures “will fall on Saturday in the west and the Cantabrian Sea and rise in Mediterranean areas, while a more general increase is expected on Sunday, which will be marked in the north,” says the meteorologist. Temperatures will exceed 35° in massive areas of the inside of the peninsula and Mallorca, and even 40° in depressions within the southeast and northeast quadrants, which “will start a new episode of high temperatures,” though Aemet doesn’t communicate of a brand new warmth wave. On Saturday, 10 communities will probably be below warmth warning ―Andalusia, Aragon, Balearic Islands, Castile and Leon, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, Extremadura, Madrid, Navarre and La Rioja― and on Sunday, 13 ―Cantabria, Galicia and the Basque Country will probably be added to the earlier ones―.

The begin of the week will probably be “marked by the passage of a low pressure area over the western peninsula, which will leave abundant cloudiness and, with uncertainty, possible occasional showers or storms in inland areas, more likely in the northwest and in mountainous areas.” From Wednesday, “a stabilization of the weather is expected, with only light precipitation in the Cantabrian Sea and northern Galicia, without ruling out the occasional afternoon shower in the mountains of the northern half.” Although with a lot uncertainty, “a predominance of thermal increases is expected at the beginning and end of next week, decreasing on intermediate days.” The most temperatures “will continue to be high in large areas of the territory, especially in the interior of the southern half and northeast.”

This month, which has been marked by heat episodes interrupted by cooler air that introduced the thermometers again to regular values ​​or barely under, will finish with a bang of 10 very heat days. In truth, because the twenty second, “Spain has been immersed in an episode of very high temperatures that, despite the drop in temperature on Thursday and this Friday, will continue for the rest of the month,” says the professional, including that “next Monday could be especially warm.”

If the forecasts are met, for instance, Madrid will endure eight days of temperatures round 40°, which might be the longest streak on report, as analyzed in a thread on X by meteorology fanatic Eduardo Romay Montes. “July will probably have a very warm character at the end, with a temperature for the whole of Spain similar to that of 2023,” concludes Riesco. If these knowledge are confirmed, the 12 months 2024 could be, between January and July, the third warmest within the historic sequence, which begins in 1961, behind 2020 and 2017 and forward of 2022 and 2023. “The six warmest years would have been recorded since 2015,” underlines Aemet.
