Weather Forecast: Clear Skies and Rising Temperatures Expected Across Spain This Thursday
This Thursday, a wave of stability is set to embrace most of Spain, characterized by predominantly clear skies complemented by a noticeable rise in maximum temperatures. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) indicates that while many regions will enjoy sunny weather, some light precipitation may occur in the northern segments of the country, as well as in the eastern Canary Islands.
In detail, cloudy conditions are expected in western Cantabria and Galicia, where a weak front could bring light rain to the western areas, particularly in the Picos de Europa. Meanwhile, the Canary Islands will experience a mix of cloudy skies in the north and sunnier conditions in the southern regions. Morning fog may blanket parts of the northern peninsula and the Balearic Islands, with minor haze anticipated in Melilla.
As the day progresses, cloud development is forecasted in the Iberian system and the Cantabrian mountain range, alongside low clouds forming along eastern coastal zones.
Temperature forecasts show a significant increase, particularly in the valleys of Andalusia where maximum temperatures could soar to 35 degrees Celsius. Conversely, the eastern coastal areas may see a decrease in temperatures, while the Islands will remain stable.
Minimum temperatures are poised to rise across the southern half of the peninsula, with slight decreases expected in the northern plateau. Winds are expected to be light from the south in the Balearic Islands and from the west in mainland Spain, intensifying along the northwest and southwest coasts, especially around the Strait and Alboran Sea. In the Canary Islands, trade winds will prevail, bringing strong intervals in exposed areas but easing later in the day.
