He “summer of San Miguel” will leave more than 25ºC between this Sunday and Monday after a Saturday in which temperatures will be up to ten degrees below usual in the northern half of the peninsula. As of Wednesday, the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) is awaiting the trajectory taken by the storm that was originally the Hurricane Isaac.
Areas on alert for rain, wind and waves
this saturday Six provinces are on alert for rain, winds and waves. The notices by fCoastal phenomena will affect the entire Balearic Islands, as well as Girona and Tarragona. For their part, they expect fstrong winds in Tarragona and Castellónwhile Intense rainfall will be concentrated on the Cantabrian slope of Navarra and Guipúzcoa.
Meteorology indicates that maximum temperatures will continue to fall in the east of the peninsula and in the Balearic Islands, especially on the Mediterranean coast. However, in the west of the country they will begin to rise. In the Canary Islands, temperatures will remain without significant changes. The provincial capitals where high temperatures will be recorded will be Seville (30ºC), Córdoba and Huelva (29ºC); and Murcia (28ºC).
In general, a trend towards anticyclonic conditions is expected in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, with mostly clear skies or high clouds. Precipitation will be more persistent in the east of Guipúzcoa and the Cantabrian slope of Navarra, although it will decrease throughout the day. There will also be scattered clouds in the Mediterranean area, with the possibility of showers in the east of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. In the Canary Islands, cloudy intervals are expected in the north, with light rain on the most mountainous islands.
In addition, slight frosts are expected in the Pyrenees and, in isolation, in the summits of the Cantabrian mountain range, the north of the Iberian system and the Central system. Snow could fall in the Pyrenees at altitudes between 1,700 and 2,000 meters, with accumulations of up to two centimeters in some areas.
Finally, the predominant winds will be from the north and east, although in the northeast of the peninsula they will blow from the northwest, with possible strong gusts in the lower Ebro and Ampurdán. Intense winds are also expected on the coasts of Almería and the Pitiusas Islands, while in the Strait, Alborán and the Cantabrian Sea the winds will turn from west to east. In the Canary Islands, the trade winds will intensify.
Is it going to rain next week?
He sunday and monday They will be days with stable weather and rising temperatures, although Monday night could slightly increase the probability of rain in Galicia. Thus, Spain will go from a weekend where, especially on Saturday, temperatures will be below usual to values above normal on Monday and Tuesday.
The AEMET points out that it will be a “summer of San Miguel”although shorter and less intense than in previous years. By Monday, it is expected that Temperatures exceed 25ºC in many areas of the country, with peaks of more than 30ºC in regions such as Extremadura and Andalusia, and even above 32ºC in the Guadalquivir valley.
He Tuesdaya slight decrease in temperatures could begin, although values higher than 30-32ºC are still expected in the Guadalquivir and some areas of the southeast of the peninsula. On that day, it is likely that a front leaves rain in Galicia, the northwest of Castilla y León and the Cantabrian regionswhile in the rest of the country there will be cloudy intervals.
How Tropical Cyclone Isaac can affect us
There is some uncertainty as of Wednesday regarding the Hurricane Isaacwhich could approach the Peninsula as a deep storm, bringing rain, winds and bad sea conditions to the north of the peninsula. From Meteored they explain that “although it is very difficult for tropical cyclones to reach our country, their movement through the Atlantic and “its extratropicalizations tend to shake the polar jet, conditioning the meteorological situation in Spain.”.
The meteorological portal indicates that the evolution of Isaac can “favor the tilting of the subtropical ridge over the southwest of the European continent, which would facilitate the strangling of a trough in the central Mediterranean, which would give rise to a DANA”.
With this scenario, according to Meteored, temperatures would drop especially in the north, east and Balearic Islands, due to the entry of northeasterly winds associated with a cooler air mass, as well as probable precipitation in several regions in the middle of next week. .
