A Atlantic depression The cold air mass began yesterday to leave heavy rain and thunderstorms in inland areas of Andalusia. The entry of this cold air mass has left autumnal skies in many parts of the peninsula and a drop in temperatures. However, in the central and easternmost areas, the temperatures they still are abnormally highalthough last night there was already a noticeable drop in minimum temperatures. The haze continues to gain ground and mud rains have already made an appearance in numerous places. In short, the small DANA will cross the northwest of the peninsula causing the development of storms throughout the quadrant. Also a little further south and east. They will have a lot of electrical activity and strong gusts of wind. The skies and rain will have an autumnal appearance, but temperatures, although they will drop in some areas, will remain high.
What will the weather be like on Monday?
For the moment, the influence of the DANA will not be excessive and there will be significantly high temperatures in the northeast of the peninsula, the Meseta, areas of the Balearic Islands and inland areas of Andalusia and Galicia. There will likely be strong winds in the Strait and the northwest and southeast coasts. Showers and locally strong storms cannot be ruled out in areas of the western inland third.
The entry of a DANA is expected from the southwest that will leave abundant medium and high cloudiness affecting most of the Peninsula. Only in the easternmost part of the country and the Balearic Islands will there be mostly clear or partly cloudy skies. With a margin of uncertainty, there is a possibility of occasional showers and thunderstorms in large areas of the interior of the peninsula, which will be more likely and intense in the interior of the northwest quadrant and, without ruling out the possibility that they will be locally strong, in interior areas of the extreme northwest. On the other hand, low morning clouds are expected in the Gulf of Cadiz, the Strait of Gibraltar and Melilla, as well as possible coastal fog that will last throughout the day in Galicia and the Cantabrian Sea. In the Canary Islands, cloudy intervals are expected, with probable scattered precipitation in the mountainous areas, without ruling out the rest.
The DANA will cause the entry of haze to a large part of the Peninsula, which in the next few days could even reach the outskirts of Paris. Maximum temperatures will tend to increase in the far north and Mediterranean area and to decrease in the Meseta. They will exceed 35 degrees in inland areas of the southern half and the northeast, and even 40 in parts of the Guadalquivir. Minimum temperatures will increase in the interior of the northern third and in the southwest quadrants and will remain above 100 degrees. 25 degrees on the southeastern coast and areas of the Tagus, Guadiana and Guadalquivir.
Weather for Tuesday, July 30
The remains of a DANA are expected to have just passed over the Peninsula, with medium and high clouds moving from southwest to northeast and with clouds evolving in the northern half and eastern third. Showers and thunderstorms are still expected in inland areas of the northwest quadrant in the early hours, which will tend to move east and disappear. Some showers are also expected in the Pyrenees area, with the possibility of occasional thunderstorms and, with low probability, some dry storms in areas of the southern plateau. Partly cloudy skies will predominate in the rest of the Peninsula and in the Balearic Islands. In generalthere will be a tendency for clearing and the precipitation to cease, leaving at the end of the day slightly cloudy skies. and without precipitation in most of the Peninsula except for some low coastal clouds on the northwest coasts and the Strait. Canary Islandsintervals of low clouds in the north of the archipelago with the possibility of some isolated weak precipitation and partly cloudy in the south.
During Tuesday People with respiratory problems may begin to notice some type of symptoms due to the presence of Calima in a large part of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, retreating towards the northeast. Probability of coastal fog and mist in the western Cantabrian Sea, the coasts of Galicia, the Andalusian Atlantic and the Alboran.
Maximum temperatures tend to fall in the far north and west while they tend to rise in the Mediterranean area and the southeast quadrant. It is likely that temperatures will continue to exceed 35 degrees in the interiors of the southern half and the northeast interior of the peninsula, the northern plateau, Ampurdán and areas of the Balearic Islands. even 40 in depressions in the northeast and southMinimum temperatures will fall in the west, rise in the east and remain above 25 degrees on the southeastern coast, although they may also be present in some valleys on the Atlantic slope.
Light to moderate trade winds will blow in the Canary Islands. Light winds from the east and south will prevail in the Mediterranean and the eastern third of the peninsula, northeasterly winds on the Galician coast and variable winds, with southern and western winds predominating in the rest of the country.
Weather for Wednesday, July 31
In most of the country, stable weather is expected with partly cloudy or clear skies. There will only be low clouds in the Strait of Gibraltar, the coast of Galicia, the north of the Canary Islands and, with the possibility of some isolated light precipitation, on the Cantabrian coast. There will also be some cloudiness in the mountains of the far north, not ruling out occasional isolated showers or storms in the afternoon, more likely in western Cantabria.
Chance of haze in Melilla and the east of the Canary Islands. In the northwest and the rest of the Mediterranean area it will still be observed in the morning but it will tend to disappear. Chance of mist and coastal fog in the Western Cantabrian, Galician coastline, Andalusian Atlantic and Alboran.
Maximum temperatures will fall in Galicia and the Cantabrian Sea and rise in the rest of the country. Temperatures are likely to reach 35 degrees in the interior of the southern half of the peninsula, in the northeast, and in areas of the northern plateau and the Balearic Islands, and to reach 40 degrees in the depressions of Andalusia, the southeast and the northeast. Minimum temperatures will not change greatly.
Moderate trade winds will blow, with some strong intervals in the Canary Islands. Winds from the east and south will predominate on the eastern side of the peninsula and in the Balearic Islands, from the north in the northern third and from the west in the rest.
Forecast for the month of August
The month of August is expected to start with stable weather, with partly cloudy or clear skies in most of the country. Only in Galicia and the Cantabrian area are cloudy skies or with cloudy intervals expected, especially in the morning, with a low probability of light and scattered precipitation. Likewise, cloudiness will form during the day in the Cantabrian, Central and Iberian systems and Pyrenees, without ruling out some isolated showers in these areas, more likely in the Cantabrian and northern face of the Pyrenees, where could be accompanied by storms occasional. On the other hand, we will also have cloudy intervals in the north of the Canary Islands, without precipitation.
The presence of haze is likely in the Canary Islands and Melilla. Morning mist and fog are not ruled out in inland areas of the Cantabrian region and in the southern Alboran coast.
Temperatures are expected to increase predominantly in the extreme south of the peninsula, Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Islands. On the other hand, temperatures will fall in the rest of the country, markedly in the Cantabrian and Pyrenean areas and in the upper and middle Ebro. Temperatures will exceed 35 degrees in most of the interior areas of the southern half, the northeast of the peninsula, the Balearic Islands and the centre of the northern plateau, and even 40 degrees in the Guadalquivir depressions, the southeast interior and in the depressions of Lleida.
Moderate trade winds will blow in the Canary Islands, with strong intervals in exposed areas. With uncertainty, Northerly winds are likely to prevail in Galicia and the Cantabrian Seawith an easterly component in the eastern Mediterranean area and a westerly component in the rest, with a moderate westerly wind in the Strait, a northerly wind in the Ebro and a northerly wind in Ampurdán.
