Having Spain at more than 40 degrees in September is not normal. Nor is what comes just after

Summer warmer in records It continues determined to prolong, at least during this week. So much so that some meteorological stations have seen the Mercury again reach the brand of the 40º Celsius.

Return at 40. Three weather stations from the southern peninsula reached or exceeded yesterday the 40º. They were those of El Granado, in Huelva (40.8º); Montoro, Córdoba (40.2º) and Badajoz (40º), According to the data of the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet). At least six others approached the brand, with temperatures of at least 39.

The heat does not leave (yet). Today the story seems to be destined to repeat itself. The forecasts for today They point out that we will see temperatures Ascent maxims both in the Peninsula and in the Canary Islands. Of course, it will be in the north where the change is most accused and not in the south where temperatures, as we see, were already high yesterday.

Aemet’s forecasts talk about temperatures above 35º at high and a half Ebro, in the Cantabrian, in southern Galicia, in some areas of the northern plateau and also in the southern half of the Atlantic aspect. Again, temperatures between 30º and 40º in the valleys of Guadalquivir and Guadiana can be expected. Minimum ascent are also expected with temperatures that do not lower the 20º in some areas.

Notices for high temperatures. Aemet has issued numerous notices due to maximum high temperatures that will last during today and tomorrow. We can highlight yellow warnings with expected maximum temperatures of 39º in the valleys of the Guadiana and the Guadalquivir, as well as an orange notice due to important risk that will remain active this afternoon in the interior regions of Bizkaia.

Not so normal. September is a month of high variability in regards to meteorology, covering the transit between summer and autumn. According to the climatological data Aemet, the average maximum temperature of the month of September does not usually exceed 32.5º.

Being a month of relatively variable temperatures, clearly determine the relative magnitude of anomaly, but of course something seems clear: it is more hot than one would expect.

Final in sight. It seems that the situation will change over the weekend. Meteorologists provide a change in trend that could be radical, not only with a decrease in temperatures but also by the arrival of storms and rain To a good part of the country. While change leads us to something that we could consider more normal for this time of year, abruptness and intensity of change are also notorious.
