Spain weather: Heatwave hits south while north sees variable conditions
Spain enters September with varied weather patterns across the peninsula. A heatwave is expected to impact southern regions, with temperatures in Andalusia potentially exceeding 40°C in the Guadalquivir valley. Authorities have issued yellow and orange alerts for several provinces, including Huelva, Sevilla, and Córdoba, advising citizens to take precautions against extreme heat.
In contrast, the Mediterranean coast and the Valencian Community are seeing a slight moderation in temperatures, though some areas remain warm. Northern regions and the Cantabrian coast may experience more unstable conditions, including light rain and increased cloud cover. While much of the country remains stable and sunny, localized storms are possible in the Pyrenees and certain mountain areas.
Humidity levels remain high in coastal areas, contributing to a stifling sensation in some locations. Overall, the transition into the new month is characterized by summer-like heat in the south and more variable, temperate conditions in the north.
