Forecast predicts stormy weather and peak temperatures in eight Spanish regions on June 9th
Hot and Stormy Week Ahead in Spain: Here's the Lowdown
It's shaping up to be a heated and stormy week in good ol' España, amigo! So let's dive into the climate chaos that's on the agenda from Monday to Thursday.
Monday: Rising Heat, Stormy skiesThe center and northern half of Spain will be sizzling, with temperatures climbing to a range of 36 to 39 degrees. And don't forget about the instability factor – get ready for some powerful storms, complete with hail and very intense wind gusts! Western Andalusia will see a minor drop in temperatures but the broiling heat will persist in other parts of the country. Morning skies will be generally clear across the nation, but expect clouds to roll in during the afternoon. Look out for dry storms in the interior, especially in the Iberian system and the mesetas. Foggy conditions will affect the north, while calima lingers in the south.
Yellow alerts for storms and high temperatures have been issued by AEMET for several regions: Andalusia, Castile and León, Castile-La Mancha, Galicia, and Madrid. Aragon is under an orange alert for extreme storms, while Extremadura has a heat alert, and the Valencian Community has a storm risk alert.
Tuesday: Intensified InstabilityLook out for a westerly depression brewing up the instability in the Peninsula starting Tuesday afternoon. Expect storms to sprout in wide swathes of the north, the southern plateau, and southeastern sierras. These could be real doozies, packing hail and intense winds, particularly in the northern Peninsula. Galicia, Cantabrian, high Ebro, and Pyrenees can also anticipate heavy rainfall.
Temperatures will ascend in the Mediterranean and the northern Peninsula, with Cantabrian region stealing the spotlight. Meanwhile, the southern plateau and west will witness a drop in temperatures. The south, northern plateau, and northeast could reach highs above 34-36 degrees, with some valley areas in Andalusia and the northeast potentially crossing the 40-degree mark.
Wednesday: Depression takes the reinsOur dear depression will continue torule the roost on Wednesday, bringing showers and storms to the northwest, south, and center, eventually Creeping northward, impacting almost the entire Peninsula, except the east. Galicia and certain areas of the center and north-central regions may experience serious storms. The Canary and Balearic Islands will see medium and high clouds dominate the skies, with remnants of the previous day's turbulence causing clusters of showers and storms in the northeastern quadrant initially, although these should subside.
Thursday: Stabilization on the horizonBy Thursday, the Peninsula is expected to edge toward stabilization. Skies should be predominantly clear, but the northwest corner will see a bit of precipitation, thanks to a front pushing into western Galicia and potentially meandering into other northwestern regions. Any lingering effects from the remnants of the previous day's instability could stir up showers and storms in the northeastern quadrant early on, but these should dissipate as the day progresses.
Spain is anticipating a hot summer this year, with temperatures forecast to be warmer-than-average across much of the country, particularly the Mediterranean region and its archipelagos[1]. The rainfall prediction is a bit iffy, with levels varying from region to region[1].
AEMET has issued meteorological warnings[3] covering certain regions in Spain, so do keep an eye on their website for regular updates. And remember, in early June, sunrise occurs around 5:21 am, and sunset rolls around at approximately 9:51 pm. Happy weather-watching, amigos!
The average temperatures during the stormy week in Spain are predicted to rise, with several regions experiencing temperatures above 34 degrees Celsius. However, the weather-forecasting agency AEMET advises that stormy conditions are high, and yellow to orange alerts have been issued for various regions, including Andalusia, Galicia, Madrid, Extremadura, Aragon, and the Valencian Community.
