  • Two orange alerts are active in Peruvian Amazon regions for marked temperature drops and rainfall of light to heavy intensity.
  • Spain is turning markedly cooler, with Madrid’s minimum falling to about 4°C on Monday and AEMET forecasting rain arriving early Wednesday and persisting into the weekend.
