A scorching summer season
The arrival of summer usually brings heat waves and high temperatures, especially during the heat wave, the hottest period of the year from mid-July to the end of August. This year, according to several meteorologists, will not be an exception, with forecasts pointing to a significant rise in temperatures.
Weather forecast
Climate experts are already warning about a particularly hot start to August. Initial data and weather forecasts indicate that we are approaching one of the hottest weeks of the year.
AEMET report
The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has released its report for the next three weeks, highlighting a general increase in temperatures for the beginning of August. According to AEMET, the country as a whole will experience temperatures above normal, especially at this time of the heat wave.
A challenge for the entire territory
The AEMET report reveals that thermometers could reach significant maximum values in several regions, with temperatures between 1 and 3 degrees higher than usual. This increase is mainly expected during the second week of August, between the 5th and the 11th of the month.
Expectations of rain
As for precipitation, the AEMET predicts that it will be between normal and below average for this time of year. Although summer is usually a dry season, this year’s lack of rain could accentuate the feeling of heat even more.
A dry climate
During the heat wave, it is common for precipitation to be scarce, and this year seems to be no exception. There is a chance of scattered stormy showers, but generally dry weather is forecast for much of the territory, with low relative humidity that will increase the intensity of the heat.
conclusion
With the forecast of extreme temperatures and little rain, the population will have to take measures to face a particularly intense and hot heat wave. The weather service reminds us of the importance of staying informed and prepared for these periods of high temperatures.
