Spain faces the final stretch of an August that will presumably be one of the warmest in its historical series. After a heat wave of more than two weeks and a Dana that left abundant rainfall in the peninsular northern third, the Aemet gives a respite today the Spaniards advancing stable time throughout the territory … except in two specific places.
The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) advances that time will be stable in much of the country but “instability in eastern Catalonia and Balearic Islands” will be maintained, with cloudy or covered skies “and rainfall with a storm that can be locally strong in the coastlines of Catalonia at dawn and, later, in Mallorca and Menorca.”
That is, the night will have already left rain discharges in areas of Catalonia and the situation is expected to be similar in the Balearic Islands during the next few hours. The Aemet also advances cloudy skies in large areas of the northern peninsular third, with the possibility of weak rains in the Cantabrian and Pyrenees.
During the afternoon of this Friday, August 22, cloudiness will be evolving in large areas of the eastern third, with showers and scattered storms that can be locally strong inside southeast. Little cloudy or clear skies will also predominate in the rest of Spain, except in the Canary Islands, where there will be intervals of low clouds in the middle and high clouds that can leave some isolated showers in summits.
Temperatures and Meteorological Notices
New increases of the maximum will be seen, except in the Mediterranean and Gran Canaria area, where they will descend. They will exceed 34 degrees in the depressions of the southwest and locally in the Miño and the Safe. Minimum increasing in a good part of the Atlantic aspect, in descent in the high Ebro and few changes in the rest. They will not fall from 20 degrees in the Mediterranean area, depressions of the Southwest and the Canary Islands.
Fruit of this forecast, the AEMET has only activated some yellow level meteorological notices in the Balearic Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, Galicia, Murcia and Community Valencian.
The yellow warning in Catalonia is maintained from the last midnight at least until 12:00 noon, while the rest of the notices begin from 12:00 noon and will last until 10:00 p.m. in most territories.
