Aemet ends the heatwave in the Valencian Community, but unstable weather is set to bring five days of rain and storms. Temperatures will stabilize, with the last heat alert issued for inland Valencia.
The Valencian Community faces a sharp weather shift as Aemet declares the end of the recent heatwave, but not before one final surge of high temperatures. On Sunday, the last yellow alert for heat remains active in the northern and southern interior of Valencia province, where temperatures could reach up to 38°C, and in some areas like Cofrentes, the mercury may even touch 41°C.
From Monday, the region will see a notable change. Temperatures are forecast to stabilize, with highs of 36–37°C inland and 31–33°C along the coast. However, the focus now turns to the sky: Aemet predicts five consecutive days with a risk of rain and storms, especially in the afternoons. The pattern will be marked by the development of daytime clouds, which could bring showers to the northern interior of the region. This scenario is expected to repeat throughout the week.
Tuesday brings a higher chance of storms in the northern interior, with the possibility of weak and scattered rainfall reaching coastal areas and the north of Alicante. By Wednesday, the day will start sunny, but evolving clouds are likely to trigger more showers and storms in the same northern inland zones.
Rainfall is not expected to be widespread, and most showers will likely be confined to the mountainous areas of Castellón. Aemet anticipates similar conditions for Thursday and Friday, with the region experiencing the typical summer storms that can help cool the atmosphere after the fourth heatwave of the season. This pattern of localized storms follows a series of recent weather events in the area, including a powerful hailstorm that recently struck the interior of Valencia, causing significant disruption to crops and infrastructure.
According to Aemet, the stabilization of temperatures means that heat will no longer be the main concern for residents, but the risk of afternoon storms remains. These weather changes are typical for the region in late summer, when atmospheric instability often leads to sudden downpours and brief but intense storms. The yellow alert for heat is expected to be lifted after Sunday, shifting the focus to monitoring rainfall and potential localized flooding in vulnerable areas. Residents are advised to stay informed about daily forecasts, as conditions can change rapidly during this period of transition from extreme heat to unsettled weather.
