A summer start that is quickly transformed
This Wednesday, Spain has aroused with temperatures reminiscent of the summer months, with a significant rise of the thermometer in many regions, especially in the center and in the south of the country. Clear skies and intense heat have marked the day, with maximum exceeding 30 degrees in cities such as Seville, Murcia and Badajoz, while Madrid reached 29 degrees.
The threat of an imminent broom
However, meteorologist Roberto Brasero has warned that this summer calm will not last. A storm, caused by cold air approaching from the heights, is expected to impact the peninsula in the coming hours. The first affected regions will be the north, where the temperatures will begin to drop significantly from Thursday, with Galicia, Asturias and the Basque Country as the most affected areas.
Temperatures in free fall
For example, Zaragoza, who yesterday enjoyed a warm day with 28 degrees, will see how mercury collapses to 23 degrees this Wednesday.
Storms on the horizon
According to forecasts, on Friday it will mark a drastic change, especially in the south and east, with not only a drop in temperatures in cities such as Málaga, Murcia and Alicante, but also with the return of the rains. Strong rainfall are expected, especially in the region of Murcia, Valencian Community and the East of Andalusia, where the amounts of water can be significant in a short time.
Meteorological instability as standard
Roberto Brasero emphasized that this instability is characteristic of Spanish spring, where temperatures seem to follow a roller coaster pattern, rising and going down suddenly. Meteorological phenomena can change dramatically in a matter of hours, leaving behind a calm atmosphere and giving way to more unstable conditions.
The weekend promises a truce
Despite the foreseen adversities, forecasts indicate an improvement from Saturday. As the storm is removed, a return is foreseen to more pleasant temperatures and a stable atmosphere. On Sunday it could bring some rains to the north, but in general, a sunny day is expected in most of the territory.
Reflections on Spanish spring
So Spanish spring shows its unpredictable facet again. What seemed like a breakthrough in summer is a reminder that climate variability is the rule during this station. The ability to adapt to these changes becomes essential for all those who plan outdoors in the coming days.
