There has been no precedent in Spain since at least 1950. The hot phenomenon is so “extraordinary and intense” Temperatures as expected for this time of year over the next few days More typical for mid-August than in the autumn, according to Aemet spokesman Rubén del Campo.
Del Campo detailed the following in his interview with Efe: between next Friday and WednesdayDuring the peak days of this section, it can reach 30-32 degrees in large parts of the country, 32-34 degrees in the Ebro valley and the southwest of the peninsula, and 36-38 degrees in the Guadalquivir valley.
At this point, to draw attention to the very high temperatures, Del Campo observed in the National Climatology Data Bank (Aemet) that the maximum temperature for October on the Spanish peninsula was 37.5 degrees, recorded in Marbella (Malaga) on 22 October. This was followed by 37.4 degrees measured in Andújar (Jaén) on October 2, 2004.
“According to estimates These values may be exceeded in the coming days“The meteorologist emphasized that, however, we cannot talk about a complete heat wave, and that values above 95% of the daily maximum temperature series were recorded for the months of July and August. 1971-2000.
This episode “won’t have the downside” of a mid-summer heat wave, because the most notable thing is how “exceptional” it is from a climatic perspective, that it’s this hot on these dates: for example, 36-38 degrees are expected in the Guadalquivir regions.
Various reasons
This is a very abnormal situation It is the result of various reasons: On the one hand, atmospheric stability favoring clear skies where the sun shines strongly and greatly warms the surface, and on the other hand, an exceptionally warm air mass from subtropical latitudes is expected from September 28 to October 4.
Now, The warmest days will be between Friday, September 29 and Monday, October 2While the maximum temperature in large areas in the interior of the peninsula is between 32 and 34 degrees, it can exceed 36-38 degrees in the Guadalquivir Valley.
Starting this weekend, “temperatures will come” to the Canary Islands, with maximum temperatures in the eastern islands likely to be around 34 to 36 degrees.
When is this episode expected to end? The spokesman continued: “According to the forecasts available today, temperatures look likely to start falling on Wednesday 4 October or Thursday 5 October, but it is not possible to determine the end of this unusually warm and durable season for the long and durable.”
This Wednesday, a “significant increase in temperatures” is expected along the Cantabrian coast; It will reach 30 degrees in the eastern Cantabrian Sea, less pronounced in other parts of the northern half, the Ebro depression, the central region of Castilla y León and a significant part of the center and south of the peninsula, reaching 34 degrees or more at the points of Guadalquivir.
Daytime temperatures will be 5 to 10 degrees above normal across much of the region and will generally extend on Thursday, although temperatures will rise slightly in the southern half this day and remain unchanged in the rest, this has been confirmed. spokesman
