The higher temperatures will start on Friday and last for several days.
The Spanish Meteorological Office has warned that temperatures are set to increase ‘considerably’ from Friday, when they say the numbers will reach the levels more typical of the second half of July.

AEMET says the increase in temperatures will be of particular note in the South East of the mainland, and will continue for several days. Spokesman, Ángel Rivera, said the increase will be noted across the country, but would reach 40 degrees in some areas such as Castilla-La Mancha, Andalucia and the regions of Valencia and Murcia.

A yellow alert for high temperatures has already been issued for the provinces of Granada, Jaén, Almería and Málaga where the risk of summer storms remains, but these will clear from all areas from Friday. Areas at particular risk today are Antequera, Ronda, Guadix, Baza, Los Vélez and other inland areas of the Andalucia region.
