From hail and thunderstorms to intense heat: Spain weather forecast July 3-6
Nine autonomous communities are on alert this Monday for storms, rain, heat and hail
The first week of July begins with locally heavy showers and thunderstorms in many parts of Spain, especially the north, and temperatures more bearable than a week ago, but this will give way to very hot weather later in the week.
Nine autonomous communities are on alert this Monday July 3 for storms, rain, hail and heat. Aragón, Catalonia and Valencia are on orange alert for a significant weather risk of accumulated rainfall of up to 40 litres per square meter in an hour, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). Andalusia, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, Madrid and La Rioja will also be under a yellow warning for rain.

In Catalonia, storms and accumulated rainfall of up to 40 litres per square metre in one hour are expected in Barcelona and Girona, with the possibility of large hail stones and very strong gusts of wind, although it will also rain heavily in Lleida and Tarragona.
In Aragón, storms and rainfall will leave up to 30 litres per square metre in one hour in large areas of Teruel. In Castilla y León, the storms will leave rainfall of up to 20 litres per square metre in one hour in Soria and in Castilla-La Mancha, rainfall of up to 15 litres per square metre per hour is expected in areas of Guadalajara and Cuenca, with the probability of hail.

From Tuesday July 4 and Wednesday 5 onwards, there may be thunderstorms in Mallorca and in the mountain ranges of the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. In the second half of the week, the rainfall will be restricted to the north while the rest of the country heats up in the sun.

According to weather forecasters eltiempo.es, “the final stretch of next week could again leave very high maximum” temperatures, while minimum temperatures could also rise from Thursday onwards, “but before this rise, we will continue with tropical nights in the Mediterranean, a large part of the southwest of the peninsula and the Canary Islands”.
