Three provinces are on alert for high temperatures on Friday

A sharp increase in temperatures is forecast from this Thursday, with thermometers set to reach 32 degrees in central Spain and as much as 35 in some parts of the South. It’s reported that some areas will see a difference of almost 10 degrees in the space of a week.

Speaking to Europa Press on Wednesday, Lola Olmeda of the AEHMET Spanish Meteorological Office said the change in temperature is not the start of a heatwave and described it as something which is not out of the ordinary for the time of year. Three provinces are however on yellow alert on Friday, when in Seville, Badajoz and Córdoba temperatures are set to reach as much as 39 degrees. 36 degrees are forecast for central Spain and the Ebro Valley.

The situation will remain the same on Saturday, with some local storms in inland mountainous areas in the afternoon. More storms are forecast for Sunday, especially in the North, accompanied by heavy showers and a drop of around 4 degrees in temperatures.

The high temperatures are set to continue in Andalucía and in the centre of the country.
