A ridge located to the east of the Peninsula, near Tunisia, is inducing a flow of southern component in the eastern half of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands, which is already introducing a mass of air, of Saharan origin, very hot and dry, with probable dust in suspension and that is favoring an increase in temperatures. In the coming days, the movement of this ridge to the west brings the mass of very warm air closer to a good part of the Peninsula, except to the northwest and north, which, together with the stability and high insolation characteristic of the time, will give most likely lead to a heat wave episode.
Temperatures will rise in the coming days, and on Sunday it is likely that they will reach 40 locally in the central part of the Guadalquivir valley, 36-38 in other areas of the southern and inland plateau of the Balearic Islands, and 36 in the Ebro valley.
During Monday the temperatures will rise clearly in a good part of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
Higher-than-normal maximum temperatures are expected in general, exceeding 38 in large areas of the interior of the peninsula and Mallorca and 40 in areas from the interior of the southern half of the peninsula and even reaching 44 in points of the Guadalquivir valley.
The temperatures will remain very high during Tuesday, although with some changes. The intensification of the west and southwest wind will cause a new rise in the peninsular east and the Ebro valley, where, as in Majorca, temperatures can reach 40-42 ; and, conversely, decreases in the west and north of the peninsula. On the other hand, in the Guadalquivir valley, the very high temperatures, exceeding 42 These two days, Monday and Tuesday, are the days highlights of this episode.
For Wednesday the 12th, a cooling off in the northern half and central peninsula is likely, mainly in the Ebro valley, as well as in the Balearic Islands, but not in the southern third where temperatures will continue to be very high.
