Sunny with some occasional cloud on Tuesday. A possible drop of rain in the morning, but very low possibility.

More on the "heat episode" that Aemet drew attention to on Sunday. The met agency says that a mass of Saharan air is expected to move in at the end of the week. Allied to a high pressure system, this is forecast to push temperatures up. Around the weather stations, there are indications of 40C by Sunday in parts of the interior. In other areas, no more than 34C is being predicted. Aemet adds that this could lead to some isolated showers accompanied by thunderstorms. We'll see.
