Tropical nights arrive as weather heats up: Spain forecast July 1-4
Daytime temperatures will approach 40ºC in the extreme south of Spain this week
While much of Europe is sweltering through the first real hot days of the summer, Spain’s temperatures throughout June have been relatively cool thanks to the lingering effects of a DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels). And although this weather front will bid farewell as we enter July, the forecast is still fairly unsettled, especially in northern Spain and on the Balearic Islands.
But as the days go by, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) expects things to even out considerably and by the middle of this week, most of Spain should be experiencing more typical summer weather. The temperatures will begin to climb in most parts, although thankfully there are no extreme heatwaves on the horizon just yet.
Significant storm warnings have been issued in the Valencian Community on Monday July 1, which will remain in place until late afternoon. The weather will be unsettled in the entire east of the country, though, and there’s a possibility of showers and rain all along the coast.
Partly cloudy skies will prevail in the rest of the country, becoming more overcast in the afternoon, which could leave some scattered showers in mountain areas in the centre and north.
Highs of 34ºC could be recorded in the extreme south but the temperatures will remain as much as 5ºC below normal in the northeast.
The weather will stabilise in all of Spain on Tuesday July 2 with mostly clear or partly cloudy skies forecast, although there’s still the possibility of some scattered showers in the interior of the Valencian Community and in Cantabria.
Daytime temperatures will continue to climb, easily hitting 34-36ºC in the Guadalquivir, Guadiana and Segura rivers. Minimum temperatures will generally increase in Cantabria, upper Ebro and southwestern half of the country.
The real summery vibes will begin on Wednesday July 3 when temperatures will shoot up across the board, reaching a sweltering 36ºC in large parts of central and southern Spain, and even 40ºC in the valleys.
A tropical night is on the cards in the valleys of the Guadalquivir and Guadiana rivers as they pass through Extremadura, as well as on the coasts of the south of the Mediterranean area.
The weather should remain largely unchanged on Thursday July 4, with a predominance of mostly clear or slightly cloudy skies throughout.
Temperatures will increase again across the board, and the mercury is tipped to exceed 35ºC on the southern Atlantic slope and 40ºC in the Guadalquivir valley in the provinces of Córdoba and Sevilla.
The tropical nights will continue in the valleys of the Guadalquivir, Guadiana and Tagus, as well as on the southern coasts of the Mediterranean.
