The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued a statement warning the population about an unusual and sudden change in weather that is coming in Spain. From this Thursday to Saturday, the northern half of the country will experience unusually cold weather for this time of year, with temperatures below normal and possible snowfall in mountainous areas.
However, as of the weekend, the situation will take a radical turn with a progressive thermal rise that will take us towards extraordinarily intense temperatures during the next week. Citizens are urged to be vigilant and prepare for these wild weather fluctuations.
The population is recommended to closely follow the weather updates and take the necessary precautions to deal with these exceptional weather conditions, such as protection against high temperatures and measures to prevent forest fires. Likewise, a call for awareness is made about the need to face climate change and adopt sustainable measures to mitigate its devastating effects in the future.
The average temperature in Spain during the month of August can vary considerably depending on the region and the specific year. In general, August is one of the warmest months in all of Spain due to the summer, but temperatures can differ significantly between the north and the south, as well as between the coastal areas and the interior.
In the north of Spain, the average temperature in August is usually between 20°C and 25°C, with some coastal areas that can reach higher maximum temperatures.
In central Spain, average temperatures in August usually range between 25°C and 30°C, although in cities like Madrid, they can exceed 30°C and even reach 35°C or more on hot days.
In southern Spain, especially in regions such as Andalusia, average temperatures in August are usually between 30°C and 35°C, with highs that can exceed 40°C in some places.
