Maximum temperatures will drop this weekend to 15ºC compared to those registered this Thursday and heavy rainfall is expected in the eastern peninsula that could exceed 30 liters per square meter (l / m2) in an hour, as announced by the State Agency of Meteorology (AEMET). His spokesman, Rubén del Campo , has warned of "an important change in the weather . "

In any case, this Thursday the heat will continue , especially in the Canary Islands, where Gran Canaria is at extreme risk (red) due to highs of 40ºC. In addition, throughout the day, this temperature will be exceeded in the midlands of Gran Canaria and in the interior of Fuerteventura. Already this Wednesday it reached 43.21ºC in the municipality of La Aldea de San Nicolás (Gran Canaria) or 41ºC in Antigua (Fuerteventura), as detailed by Del Campo.

In the case of the minimum , it did not drop below 30ºC in the midlands as added by Del Campo, who has alluded to 32.9ºC in Lomo de Pedro Alfonso, in San Bartolomé de Tirajana (Gran Canaria) while in Tijarafe (La Palma) did not fall below 31.5ºC throughout all of August 26. In the early morning of August 27, the island's midlands again hovered around 30ºC, temperatures that together with the suspended dust and haze make the situation "complicated."

However, for Friday, Del Campo has indicated that there will be a drop in temperatures that will already be mild, as in the Peninsula, which will go from having values ​​between 4 and 7ºC above the average (on Wednesday they exceeded 40ºC in the Guadalquivir valley, Huelva and southern Castilla-La Mancha) to register "a significant drop between Friday and Saturday."

COLD AIR INLET

This thermal decrease is due to the entry of cold air from the north due to the joint action of the Atlantic anticyclone and a storm that will be located in the north of France. The irruption of cold air will begin this Friday in the northern third of the peninsula, coinciding with the passage of an Atlantic front that will cause rainfall in the extreme north and locally strong showers accompanied by storms in the afternoon in the northeast.

In this way, in this period, there will be "a significant decrease of up to 15ºC in the maximum and between 5 and 10ºC in the minimum if compared this Thursday with Saturday", as detailed by Del Campo, who has alluded to "Unusually low" temperatures for this time of year.

Both the maximum and minimum temperatures will fall in the northern third in a remarkable and even extraordinary way, without affecting the Mediterranean area this Friday, where they will remain and even rise on the southeast coast. In the Canary Islands a general decrease is also expected, although very high temperatures are still expected in the midlands of the most mountainous islands.

In addition, there will be "an unstable atmosphere as a result of the passage of a trough at high levels that will leave rains and showers", especially in the Cantabrian from the early hours of Friday that will extend to Aragon, Catalonia and the north of the Valencian Community and on Saturday also to the Balearic Islands. At this point, Del Campo asked "caution" as they could be strong and accompanied by storms and hail, and exceed 30 l / m2 in an hour.

WEEKEND

As of Saturday, the thermal decline will extend to the rest of the Peninsula and to the entire Mediterranean area, with maximum and minimum temperatures well below the usual values ​​for the time of year. Rainfall will continue in the extreme north and showers with locally strong storms in the northeast of the peninsula and in the Balearic Islands. In the Canary Islands, a very pronounced and general drop in temperatures is also expected throughout the archipelago, which can be extraordinary on the peaks.

Temperatures are likely to stabilize in much of the country on Sunday 30, except in the southeast and in both archipelagos, where they are expected to continue to decline, especially in the case of the minimum. As of Monday 31st, a new thermal rise will probably begin in the north of the peninsula, possibly extending to the rest of the Peninsula and the Canary Islands.
