The heat gives way to a trough with the risk of strong storms and a drop in temperatures – 20minutos.es

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) foresees strong storms in the northeast for this Tuesday and that it will also rain in the Cantabrian area and in Galicia. In these latter regions, temperatures will drop significantly in the interior, although the drop will affect the entire northwest of the peninsula. There will be less probability of rainfall in the northern plateau. An Atlantic front will sweep the northern half of the peninsula leaving cloudy skies or cloudy intervals. There will be clouds of daytime evolution in the northeast of the peninsula, which will give rise to showers and storms, more likely in the Pyrenees and areas of Aragon and Catalonia, where they could be locally strong. In the Balearic Islands the sky will be slightly cloudy with some intervals of medium and high clouds. In the rest of the peninsula slightly cloudy skies will predominate. In the Canary Islands there will be intervals of clouds in the north of the islands with probable weak rainfall in those with greater relief, and little cloudiness in the south. Daytime temperatures will drop in the northwestern third of the peninsula, a drop that can be notable in the interior of Galicia, and with few changes or slight decreases in the rest of the country. The night ones will present few changes. The west component winds will predominate in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, except in the northeastern third of the peninsula, where they will be of variable direction. Northeast trade winds are forecast in the Canary archipelago. Values ​​below usual In a similar line, Meteored announces that “a large trough threatens strong storms” and that it will also lead to a significant drop in thermometers. The meteorological information website predicts that temperatures “below the average for this time of year for several days” will be recorded. Specifically, he speaks of between four and eight degrees below the usual data for the month of August, especially in the center and north and during Wednesday and Thursday. “It is likely that by the end of the week temperatures will return to normal or even above average values,” he adds. Meteored notes that the possibility of some of the storms manifesting as medium or large hail is “high.” In addition, they will leave strong or very strong gusts of wind locally. “In principle, they will especially affect the Ebro Valley, the Pyrenees and the Iberian System. Once the trough leaves the peninsula, on Friday, the situation will tend to subside,” they conclude.
