A BRIEF respite from the heatwave is on the cards for this weekend with temperatures across Spain set to fall by an average of 6ºC, accompanied by rain storms, thunder and lightning.
Heavy downpours may ensue, with up to 50 litres per square metre (five centimetres, or two inches) forecast for the province of Castellón today (Thursday) and tomorrow.
Strong winds and even hail may hit parts of the Comunidad Valenciana and Catalunya on the east coast, the central and centre-north regions of Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y León, Aragón, and the Pyrénéen areas of Navarra.
Today will continue to see extreme temperatures in inland parts of Andalucía such as the provinces of Córdoba, Jaén and Granada, with the mercury rising to at least 40ºC, whilst elsewhere in all but the far north, thermometers will go up to between 36ºC and 38ºC, but from tomorrow, they will start to drop significantly, settling at normal levels for the time of year.
