As noted in recent daily reports, Sunday is due to be quite a hot day - up to 35C, so several degrees above the average for mid-September. While the sun will be out, the met agency says that there'll be a haze. There's Saharan dust in the atmosphere (and a lot of it), with Aemet forecasting that there may well be some muddy rain from Sunday evening and overnight into Monday; there have been light showers of muddy rain in recent days.

For the week ahead, temperatures dropping on Monday; there's a high probability of rain on Monday morning. Tuesday's looking reasonable, but rain is also forecast for Wednesday and Thursday.
