Section of high temperatures above 35 and 40 degrees expected by the end of this week in the Peninsular and Balearic Islands. It is “possible” that we are facing the first heat wave of the yearRubén Del Campo, spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), made a statement.
Del Campo said it was too early to “confirm definitively”, but if confirmed would be “one of the earliest since records were kept”because the most advanced to date began on June 11, 1981.
“Until next Monday or Tuesday”
We have a “heavy period of high temperatures” ahead and although thermometers will drop a bit tomorrow, the increase from Wednesday, Thursday “It will be common and could last until at least next Monday or Tuesday”Very high daytime temperatures that can exceed 35 degrees in most of the country, even 40 degrees in the valleys of Guadalquivir, Guadiana and perhaps the Ebro.
The heatwave would likely have started on Saturday the 11th or Sunday the 12th, but in this case, a number of factors would have to occur simultaneously, such as warm air at the source and high pressures, causing downward movements from high to the surface. and on this descent the air is compressed and heated even more.
to this situation We must add that the sun will be shining and in June it is well above the horizon, so it heats very efficiently. Since it is a surface and a stable situation, it will prevent it from dispersing because it does not blow too much wind.
face to face Sunday and Monday spokesperson continued, temperature may rise With the formation of a low pressure area in the Atlantic that will inject “very hot air from the north of the African continent” from its location.
According to other experts, temperatures in general can rise ten degrees above normal for these dates.
you should remember this last month was the warmest May in Spain since records became availableyes, that is, since 1961.
