At the beginning of the week, residents of northern regions of Spain will experience a noticeable rise in temperatures. Meanwhile, in the southeast and on the Balearic Islands, temperatures will drop quite significantly. It will be especially hot in inland Galicia, as well as in the north and northeast of the country, and in the valleys of the Guadalquivir and Guadiana rivers, where afternoon temperatures will exceed 32 degrees.
Stable weather will persist in most regions until Wednesday, but the situation will be different along the Mediterranean coast. There, the sky will be overcast, and rain is possible in the Strait area, the Alboran Sea, Murcia, and the southern part of the Valencian Community. By midweek, meteorologists expect thunderstorms, which could be rather intense.
On the Canary Islands, the day will be shaped by strong trade winds that will bring clouds to open areas of the archipelago. On Tuesday, almost no precipitation is forecast across the country, though morning fog is possible in central regions, characteristic of autumn’s calm weather. Drivers are advised to exercise caution on the roads.
Temperatures will continue to rise, especially in the north and east of the peninsula. In some areas, highs will be 5–10 degrees above normal for this time of year. In vast parts of the country, temperatures will reach 25 degrees and above, and in the valleys of the Tajo, Guadiana, and Guadalquivir — 30 degrees or more.
On Wednesday, clouds and rain will return to Galicia and the north. In other regions of the peninsula, the weather will become less stable, with thunderstorms possible in some areas. It remains unclear exactly where they will occur, but the likelihood of precipitation in central regions is fairly high. In the north, temperatures will drop sharply, while in other parts of the country the decrease will be less noticeable. In Cantabria, maximum temperatures will not exceed 20 degrees, while heat will persist in the Guadalquivir valley.
A more significant change is expected by Thursday: atmospheric instability will increase, especially in Mediterranean regions and the Balearic Islands. Heavy downpours are possible, but it is still difficult to say exactly where they will fall. Forecasts suggest coastal areas, although the situation could change at any time.
