The third heatwave of the week: extreme temperatures until Friday in the AMBA

The AMBA will face an intense heatwave that will dominate most of the first week, with highs reaching up to 36°C in the most critical areas. This weather phenomenon marks the third time this season that a heatwave impacts the region with such intensity, but this time it is notable for its prolonged duration rather than extreme absolute figures.

Monday and Tuesday: the heatwave at its peak

The first two days of the week will concentrate the peak of the thermal event. Monday will start with a morning of 23°C that will drastically transform during the afternoon, when the thermometer will rise to 34°C with partly cloudy skies and moderate north winds. The night will bring little relief, ending at 29°C in a stifling environment where sustained warm air circulation will prevent proper rest.

Tuesday will deepen the heatwave with even more hostile conditions: maximums of 36°C under full sun are expected, creating dangerous thermal sensations. The mild morning of 24°C will be deceptive, as the central hours of the day will become almost intolerable. There is a chance of sporadic showers from southeast winds, but these will barely provide relief. The night will close at 28°C, allowing for slightly better rest than the previous day.

Wednesday: first breather of the heatwave

Wednesday will mark a break in intensity, although it will not mean the end of the heatwave. Without new hot air masses, temperatures will moderately decrease to 31°C, supported by increased cloud cover that will block part of the direct solar radiation. Cool east winds will help mitigate the thermal sensation. The night will show a significant easing with lows of 26°C, providing the first more comfortable night of the week.

Thursday and Friday: the end of the heatwave

Thursday will return vigorously, presenting maximums of 34°C under the influence of warm northeast winds. However, by nightfall, a weak cold front will approach to break the pattern, bringing storms that will mark the turning point of the heatwave. Friday will confirm this change: after intense days, rain will finally return, although with minimal accumulation that will barely wet the rain gauges. Highs will drop to 30°C, facilitated by increasing cloudiness, scattered rain, and cool southeast winds. The night will close at 23°C in a much more pleasant environment.

Weekend outlook and recommendations

Saturday will consolidate thermal calm with lows of 22°C and highs of 30°C under mostly clear skies. Sunday may show a slight temperature rebound before a new cold air influx causes rain and a more definitive temperature drop.

This heatwave is more distinguished by its persistence than by record figures. Meteorology experts warn that the real threat lies in the elevated nighttime temperatures over four consecutive nights, which prevent proper physical recovery during rest. For those working outdoors, it is recommended to increase fluid intake, wear light-colored clothing, seek shade during the central hours of the day, and monitor symptoms of heat exhaustion. Only on Friday will the region be able to breathe a sigh of relief when rain and cold air finally arrive.
