Heatwave to remain in Spain until Sunday

The Spanish Meteorological Agency AEMET has put half of Spain on alert for high temperatures, and warns that this Saturday will be the hottest day.

Today, Wednesday, temperatures will be two or three degrees higher than what it was yesterday in Aragón, Cataluña and in the north of the Valencia region. Thermometers will show round 40 degrees in the centre and south of the mainland, and weather alerts are in place for more than 25 provinces.

Thursday will see increased activity from storms in the centre of the mainland. They will be disperse and not that big, but they will serve to freshen the atmosphere. It could rain in the NE on Thursday.

Friday will see temperatures similar to Thursday and an occasional storm in the northern third and eastern half of the country.

Saturday will be the hottest day with values back to where they were on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the northern third of the country particularly warm. The southern third of the country will reach 39 or 40 degrees and the centre of the country will also get as high as 39. Storms could form in the NW.

Temperatures will finally start to fall on Sunday.
