The abnormal heat of these days refuses to go away. The high temperatures will likely persist throughout the week and even at the beginning of next week and at the moment the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) does not dare to specify how long this episode will last, which is leaving record temperatures in many parts of the country.
During this week and early next, daytime temperatures will remain between 5 and 10 degrees above normal in practically the entire peninsula, even between 10 and 15 degrees above normal in areas of the northwest during the next weekend. week. Only in coastal areas of the Mediterranean, thermometers will reach values more in line with the season.
For this Wednesday, the agency foresees a small relief in the north of the peninsula. Minimum temperatures will drop in the interior northern third. The maximum temperatures will also fall in the southeastern half of the interior of the peninsula. Instead, they will rise in the interior of Galicia, the Cantabrian Sea and the upper Ebro, even notably in the mountain range. A few changes in the rest. They will remain at high values for the season in the center and northeast of the peninsula and, notably, in the Canary Islands.
The maximum temperature of 30 degrees will once again be exceeded in provincial capitals such as Badajoz, Cáceres, Córdoba, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Grada, Huesca or Jaén.
Regarding the wind, the trade will blow with an easterly component in the Canary Islands, with strong intervals in the midlands. Intervals of strong easterly weather will also be recorded in the Strait and, tending to subside, on the northwest coasts of Galicia. Loose variable in the rest.
The Aemet spokesperson, Rubén del Campo, assures that the episode of high temperatures "that our country has been experiencing for a few days has already resulted in four consecutive records of warm days." So far, September 29 and 30 and October 1 and 2 have been the warmest days for those dates since at least 1950.
Furthermore, an analysis of the air temperature at about 1,500 meters of altitude has revealed that the air mass that flies over the Peninsula during these days "is the warmest than any that has done so at this time since there are records."
"This is, therefore, an extraordinary warm episode, unprecedented for these dates," added the person in charge. And for which there is still no final date.
