This heat wave devastated the country temperature records It continues at full speed throughout the month of July. Extreme heat exceeded 40ºC In many areas, it has caused everyone to wonder if this situation will continue for the rest of the month. For now, the European Space Agency (ESA) has warned that the spacecraft will arrive soon. anticyclone Cerberus It could shatter the current record of 48ºC in Italy two years ago.
According to the fifteen-day trends reflected by both Aemet and private portals, Temperatures will remain above normal in almost all of Spainespecially prominent in the center, south and east of the country and in the archipelago. Although it is not possible to predict whether there will be another heat wave, it is known that From this Monday, temperatures will rise again.
Saturday, July 15 marked the start of a heatwave in Spain, statistically the hottest time of the year.. During this time, temperatures reach their peak. The duration of the heatwave varies by region, but usually lasts from mid-July to mid-August.
A heat wave is explained by several factors, such as the Sun’s position in the sky and solar radiation that warms the earth. In addition, the regulating effect of the seas and oceans contributes to the fact that coastal areas do not experience the extreme temperatures of inland areas.
In general, atmospheric stability is expected over a weekend due to the influence of high pressures, which means: high temperatures but not too extreme However, as in the previous days, some areas in the north of the peninsula may experience temporary instability.
It should be noted that the heatwave is in full swing and it is common to observe temperatures between 30ºC and 35ºC in many cities, but these days the signs are near or higher than 35ºC to 40ºC.
Minimum temperatures will remain high, especially in coastal areas due to the effect of thermal anomalies in the water.. Capitals will record tropical nights and some equatorial nights, especially along the Mediterranean coast and nearby areas. Haze will also be present, particularly in southern and eastern Spain and the Canary Islands, but its presence is expected to decrease towards the end of the week and the beginning of the following week.
Two weeks into the end of July and the temperatures we are experiencing are likely to remain higher than normal in the center, south and east of the peninsula and in both archipelagos. https://t.co/fsT4Z8iOum pic.twitter.com/oSC6T57IrS

During High pressures prevail in the MediterraneanIn the northwest of the peninsula, the impact of an Atlantic storm is expected, which could increase instability in that region. Intermittent and temporary precipitation is expected from northern Galicia to the Cantabrian Sea, the upper Ebro and the Pyrenees.
In the Canary Islands, easterly winds will keep temperatures close to 30ºC in the capitals, but cooling trade winds are expected to return over the weekend to ease the heat and disperse the fog.
in short but Stable and warm weather expected next week, not extreme temperatures like this week. As July progresses, the temperature continues, but with slight moderation.
New record forecast in the coming days
The European Space Agency (ESA) warned this Thursday that the extreme heatwave that affected many parts of Spain, Italy and Portugal could lead to death. The historical temperature record in Europe, 48 degrees, will be exceeded in the coming days.
After a spring and early summer, marked by storms and floods, the hottest June in world history, The arrival of the Cerberus anticyclone from the Mediterranean threatens to break this 48-degree recordIt arrived just two years ago, on August 11, 2021, in Floridia, Italy.
Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Poland are currently suffering from a heatwave that put thermometers above 40 degrees Celsius in the first half of July, when the world was experiencing the hottest week since records exist, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
ESA’s Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite measured the temperature in Europe between 9 and 10 July. The amount of energy emitted by the world, significantly higher than the air temperature that meteorologists talk about.
Thus, he measured temperatures above 46 ºC in Madrid, 47 ºC in Seville and even above 50 ºC in parts of Italy.
The current temperature coincides with the El Niño phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean, making it look like more weather records will be broken around the world.
