Thursday and Friday of this week are marked by a sharp drop in temperatures in a large part of the Peninsula and in the Balearic Islands, since on both days maximum temperatures will be between 5 and 10 degrees below normal.
The spokesman for the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), Rubén del Campo, has indicated that, despite this decrease in thermometers, the heat will continue to be present in the southern third and will once again expand throughout the Spanish territory during the weekend.
“After these two cold days, the temperatures will begin to rise in a general way over the weekend and, especially in the southern half, the intense heat will probably be the protagonist again during Sunday and the first days of next week,” Del Campo has warned.
The “significant” drop in temperatures will be caused by the arrival in the country of northwesterly winds generated by the difference in atmospheric pressure between the Azores anticyclone, located in the Atlantic, and the Patricia storm, which will circulate through northern Europe .
The thermal drop will be accompanied by cloudy skies and rain in the north of Galicia and in the Cantabrian communities, although it will not be very abundant.
In addition, there will be storms in the Pyrenees, the Iberian System, the Balearic Islands and isolated areas in the east of the Peninsula, which may be locally intense in parts of Catalonia, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands and areas close to Albacete and Murcia.
The drop in temperatures will come after a hot Wednesday, with eleven communities on alert for high temperatures, including Andalusia, on a red notice due to the fact that points in the metropolitan area of ??the city of Malaga and the Guadalhorce Bajo valley may record maximum temperatures. 42 degrees.
On Thursday, temperatures will drop significantly in the north of the peninsula and areas of the Mediterranean and the drop could even be “extraordinary” (more than 10 degrees difference from the previous day) in the Basque Country, Navarra, La Rioja, Aragon and eastern areas. of Catalonia.
In cities like Pamplona or Vitoria, it will hardly exceed 22 degrees, compared to the 33 forecast for Wednesday; and in Zaragoza they will stay with 29, after probably having exceeded 40 degrees the day before.
In the southern third, the intense heat will continue, and cities such as Córdoba, Seville, Murcia or Málaga will register highs of between 38 and 40 degrees.
On Friday, the mercury will continue to fall, especially in the eastern half of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands, while a recovery will begin in the extreme west.
Vitoria or Pamplona will barely touch 20 degrees; Logroño, Oviedo and Burgos the 23rd and cities like Palencia or Segovia will have a cold night, with lows around 10 degrees.
That day, the wind will blow with intense gusts in areas of the north of the Peninsula, which will increase the feeling of living an autumn day.
One more day, the warmest atmosphere on Friday will be in the Guadalquivir valley, with 38 degrees in cities like Seville and Córdoba.
Over the weekend, temperatures will rise again and the thermal rise will be more pronounced in the northern half and its daytime temperatures, which will rise between 6 and 8 degrees compared to Friday, will return to levels typical of the time of year.
In Extremadura, eastern Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia, the heat will be very intense and in the Guadiana and Guadalquivir valleys, on Sunday it may exceed 40 or 42 degrees.
