Overview

• Aemet has activated yellow warnings on Friday, August 22, from 14:00 to 22:00 in Alicante, Castellón and Valencia for showers and thunderstorms.
• Guidance highlights localized downpours near 20 mm in an hour with a risk of hail, with afternoon storms more likely inland and occasional spread to the coast.
• Saturday is expected to bring a short-lived rebound in temperatures, with highs around 31 ºC in parts of the Valencian Community.
• European model projections point to a frontal passage late in the weekend bringing locally intense rain first to Galicia, with a possible DANA early next week that could focus heavier falls in regions such as Valencia, Catalonia, Aragon and the Basque Country, subject to uncertainty.
• Regional contrasts persist today, with many Galician towns forecast dry and sunny, Barcelona holding a modest early precipitation chance, and Aemet’s Euskadi delegate warning Vitoria could see notable rain Sunday into Monday.
