The risk of heat returns to a dozen provinces with up to 42 degrees

A dozen provinces will be at risk due to heat this Monday, with temperatures that could reach up to 42ºC in the interior southeast and the Valencian coast, according to the forecast of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).. Specifically, Alicante and Valencia will be at significant risk (orange) due to the high temperatures, which will also put Almería, Málaga, Murcia, Albacete, Barcelona, Tarragona, Lleida and the Balearic Islands on alert, but yellow..

Daytime temperatures will increase in the Mediterranean area and decrease in the rest of the country, notably in the upper Ebro and surrounding areas. Thus, it is probable that 40-42ºC can be reached in parts of the interior southeast and the Valencian coast, and that the minimums do not drop below 24-26ºC in the Mediterranean area.. In addition, in a large part of the country the skies with few clouds or with high clouds will predominate this Monday, without precipitation, although in the north of Galicia and the Cantabrian area cloudy skies are expected with probable precipitation, weak in general, tending to subside on the coasts in the afternoon, without ruling them out in the south of Galicia and the northwest of Castilla y León.

In the Balearic Islands, the eastern half of the peninsula and the west of Andalusia and the southern plateau, there will be intervals of medium and high clouds, tending to be little cloudy from west to east. Likewise, in the northern half and eastern third of the peninsula, cloudiness of diurnal evolution will develop, with probable dry storms in the eastern third and the Balearic Islands, accompanied by showers in the Pyrenees and the ends of the Iberian. It is not ruled out that these showers are locally strong in the eastern Pyrenees. Lleida will be on yellow alert for rain.

In the Canary Islands, intervals of low clouds are expected in the north of the islands, while there is a probability of haze in Alborán, the southeast and the Balearic Islands, and they are not ruled out in the rest of the southeast half of the peninsula. Nor are morning mists or mists ruled out in the Cantabrian, upper Ebro and Pyrenees. The winds, for their part, will be from the north in the northwest third and will blow from the west and southwest in the rest of the Atlantic slope.

In this context, the west wind will tend to establish itself in Estrecho and Alborán, blowing at the end of the day with strong intervals; north wind in the Ebro and, with strong intervals, north wind in Ampurdán. Variables will blow in the Mediterranean area while we wait for rissagas in the Balearic Islands and trade winds in the Canary Islands. Thus, the Balearic archipelago will be under yellow warning due to rissagas in Menorca, while coastal phenomena will put Almería, Granada, Málaga and Girona at risk (yellow)
