Roberto Brasero warns of the heat that arrives in Spain: “It comes to stay”

Spain faces a completely atypical end of May. Heat has soared in a large part of the country and forecasts for the coming days do not exactly invite optimism. One of those who has given voice to this situation has been meteorologist Roberto Brasero, who has warned that the high temperature episode will not be something isolated. “It's here to stay”.

The presenter explained that the weather expected for this weekend will be more typical of early July than of the final stretch of spring. In fact, some southern cities could reach or even exceed 38 degrees during the central hours of the day, especially in areas of Andalucía and the Guadalquivir valley.

Although the State Meteorological Agency insists that technically a heatwave cannot yet be spoken of, the feeling on the street will be practically the same. Temperatures are well above what is usual for this time of year and, furthermore, the episode could extend for a good part of next week.

Brasero detailed that the heat will affect almost the entire Peninsula, except for some northern points such as Galicia, the Cantabrian coast or areas of León, where the arrival of a small DANA could bring storms and even a slight thermal drop. Even so, the general outlook will remain marked by intense heat and dry weather.

One of the most worrying aspects are the nights. Minimum temperatures will begin to rise notably and many cities will already register the well-known tropical nights, those in which the thermometer does not drop below 20 degrees. A very unusual situation for the end of May and one that usually makes rest especially difficult during the early hours of the morning.

The AEMET keeps several yellow warnings active for high temperatures and coastal phenomena in different parts of the country. Furthermore, meteorological models indicate that the beginning of June will follow the same trend, with values clearly higher than the usual average for these dates.

All this comes after a spring marked by sudden weather changes and increasingly frequent extreme episodes. Now, the meteorological summer seems to be arriving several weeks early and leaves a scenario that is beginning to resemble July more than the last days of May.
