Overview

• Weekend highs topped 40 °C across the Valencian Community, prompting yellow heat warnings over Alicante and nearby provinces.
• By Tuesday morning, scattered light showers fell in interior towns such as Morella and Forcall and along the coastal belt from Castellón to Alicante.
• Daytime highs have fallen by several degrees since Monday, but AEMET maintains yellow alerts in Alicante from 13:00 to 21:00 even as temperatures remain elevated.
• AEMET projects that a surge of colder-than-normal air will broaden the cooling trend through midweek, lowering highs further and raising chances of more unsettled spells.
• This rapid shift from intense heat to cooler, unsettled conditions reflects a typical late-July pattern that has also driven advisories in Murcia, Andalucía, Catalonia and Galicia.
