Spain leaves behind another heat wave, the third so far this summer and which has left temperatures that are difficult to bear, with values ??well above 40ºC in many parts of our country. As of this Thursday, there has been a general decrease in maximum temperatures, which return to normal values ??for the season, except in the eastern third of the Peninsula, where temperatures between 5ºC and 10ºC above normal will still persist.
Friday will be a day with a milder atmosphere since it will only exceed 36 degrees in the towns located in the Guadalquivir valley and some in the southeast, as well as in parts of Mallorca.
In the center of the peninsula, it will stay between 30 and 32 degrees and between 28 and 30 degrees in the interior of the northern half. In the Bay of Biscay, the maximum will be 25 degrees. In this way, a marked thermal contrast will once again be registered between various areas of our country.
But that truce will last very little, until Saturday. According to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), for that day a decrease is expected in the Mediterranean area and in the Canary Islands. The minimum temperatures will have few changes or decreases in most of the Peninsula and in the Balearic Islands. And 34-36 degrees will still be exceeded in areas of the southern interior.
The heat will tighten again on Sunday, July 23. The temperatures forecast for the day of the general elections on 23J will experience a general rise compared to the day before, according to the Aemet forecast.
The Ebro valley and the Guadalquivir valley will be the hottest areas in all of Spain, with temperatures that will be around between 36ºC and 40ºC. Specifically, in the Ebro Valley area the values ??may vary between 36ºC and 38ºC, while in the Guadalquivir the maximum will be 40ºC and the minimum 38ºC. In the rest of the southern and central half of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, temperatures will exceed 35ºC.
In the rest of the southern half, in parts of the central zone and in the Balearic Islands “it may exceed 35 degrees,” said the agency’s spokesman, Rubén del Campo, who points out that he does not expect it to rain, although he predicted that “storms could form in mountainous areas of the north and east of the peninsula that could be accompanied by very strong gusts of wind.”
Although the Aemet speaks of a rise in maximum temperatures in most of the Peninsula, it also explains that “a decrease may begin in the west and south of Galicia”.
