On Sunday we have a yellow alert for high temperatures in the south and the interior (up to 37C) between noon and 7pm. As has been the case for the past many days, there will be sunny skies and gentle breezes. The temperature range will be 30 to 37C.

There is a yellow alert for the interior on Monday and there may well also be one on Tuesday. Aemet says that Wednesday will mark an end to the "episode" (heat wave) and that temperatures will fall; all things being relative, as it won't exactly be chilly.

In Saturday's report it was noted that weather stations were hinting at some rain midweek. The probability wasn't high - no more than 30% - but it is now very much higher. The met agency is pointing to an unsettled phase from Tuesday to Thursday that could well bring rain and thunderstorms. The chart below shows this:
