Seville, Spain, forecast to reach 37°C under strong sunshine

High pressure aloft joins the pattern from September 20, intensifying the heat

From September 19 through September 25, strong sunshine and high pressure aloft will combine to raise temperatures in Spain. Skies will have few clouds, allowing strong sunshine to continue warming the surface, while around 5,000 m aloft, a ridge of high pressure will extend farther than the surrounding area, making it difficult for clouds to form. This pattern is expected to continue.

Outlook for various areas

The combination of strong sunshine and high pressure aloft is expected to continue throughout the period. Warm air will also flow into Seville, where temperatures are forecast to rise to 37°C from September 19 through September 25. Humidity will remain low, at 14% to 24%, resulting in dry heat. Madrid is forecast to reach 28–34°C, Bilbao 25–33°C, and Barcelona 26–29°C; none of these cities is expected to reach 35°C.

Please avoid going outdoors during the day as much as possible. Take precautions against the heat by drinking fluids frequently and improving ventilation indoors.
