August will be hotter than normal according to Aemet

We will have to wait a few days for the official figures, but we already know from experience that July was hot, and now, as we head into the quintessential hot month of the year, August, this month will be “hotter than normal”, according to the predictions of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

According to Aemet, August “will start very warm in the southern half and cool in northern areas”, later, “warmer than normal weather may extend to a good part of the country,” according to spokesperson Rubén del Campo.

Specifically, he added that “the first fortnight will be warm with temperatures above the normal average in much of the centre and south of the peninsula,” but that in the second fortnight the heat will spread “to a good part of the country.” Del Campo also stressed in his August prediction that “with caution”, it can be affirmed “that it will be a month with little rain, just like July 2023”.

The first week of the month, August 6, the weather will be mostly stable, with cloudy skies in the north of the peninsula. In Galicia and the Cantabrian coast there will be a risk of rain and these showers may be “accompanied by an occasional storm”, as in the Pyrenees and eastern Catalonia.

The Aemet forecast indicates that there may also be rain in the south of the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands. In the north of the mountainous islands of the Canary archipelago, precipitation can occur.

The worst of the high temperatures are the torrid nights affecting sleep, and, potentially, your health.
