On Sunday, the winds will blow from the north in the Cantabrian area, which “will cause a marked thermal drop there, which can be up to 8°.” It will be a cool day in the area, with 18°/20° and some showers. In the rest of the country, temperatures will continue to rise, “especially in the eastern peninsula and the Balearic Islands.” In the Ebro valley the thermometers will reach 34° and in Córdoba, 36°. In the rest of the central and southern half, the maximum temperatures will be between 30° and 34°. But it will not only be hot during the day: “The early morning will also be warm and in Andalusia it may dawn with minimum temperatures of 20° in some points, the so-called tropical nights.”
