Heatwave ends but scorching temps continue: Spain weather forecast July 25-28
The temperatures will remain in the mid to high-30s throughout Spain this coming weekend
Spain is suffering through its second heatwave of the summer, with incredible highs of 44ºC recorded in parts of the Córdoba countryside and most of country at least on yellow alert for scorching temperatures.
The good news is that the heatwave will officially end this Thursday, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the heat.
Temperatures will begin to fall on July 25, and it will be noticeably cooler in the southwest of Spain and in parts of the Mediterranean. But even so, the heat will still feel intense and most of central Spain will see the thermometers hover between 39 and 41ºC.
Clear skies will predominate in most of the country, with the exception of Galicia and the Cantabrian area, where light rains are forecast.
Both day and night-time temperatures will continue to fall on Friday July 26, particularly in Andalucía, eastern Castilla-La Mancha, the Valencian Community and Murcia, and according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), this drop means we will no longer be in the midst of a heatwave.
Having said this, the nights will still be tropical, failing to dip below 20ºC in large parts of the south, east and on the islands. In many areas of the southwest, especially in river plains, a torrid night is on the cards, with temperatures in excess of 25ºC.
And even with this respite from the heat, several provinces remain on alert, and Aemet has activated orange alerts in Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura, along with yellow warnings in Andalucía, Aragón, Catalonia, Madrid and Navarra.
Change is afoot on Saturday July 27, when an Atlantic front will affect the extreme north of the country, leaving behind cloudy skies and rain in the north of Galicia and the Cantabrian area.
It will also be a bit overcast in central Spain and in the east and northeast, with occasional dry storms in mountain areas.
The heat alerts have been downgraded to yellow across the board on Saturday, but the mercury will still remain above 35ºC in the south and northeast, with 40ºC only being reached very occasionally in the valleys of the Tajo, Guadalquivir and Ebro.
The skies will be mostly clear and bright again on Sunday July 28, although there’s a chance of scattered showers in the south of the Valencian Community. And after our brief reprieve, the temperatures are likely to start climbing once more, more noticeably along the Atlantic coast. In fact, the thermometers in much of inland and southern Spain are tipped to creep back over 35ºC.
