Following a brief interlude of cooler weather over the weekend, the fourth heat wave of the season is upon us. The AEMET (Agencia Estatal de Meteorolog\u00eda) has issued a special warning based on the latest meteorological models, predicting a significant rise in temperatures that will persist at least until Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 1 --> <\/p>\n<h2>When Does the Heat Wave Begin?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The special notice issued by the AEMET<\/strong> indicates that this new heat wave officially starts on Wednesday, July 29. Though rising temperatures have already begun due to an anticyclonic situation, the most dramatic spike is anticipated on Wednesday, particularly affecting the eastern third of the Peninsula. The heat isn\u2019t expected to be a fleeting episode; forecasts suggest extreme temperatures will linger until at least Sunday, August 2, with some experts warning that elevated temperatures could continue into the following week.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 2 --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-figure js-desvio-figure\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The Oven Map: High-Temperature Predictions<\/h2>\n<p>On Wednesday, temperatures are projected to reach a blistering 39-41\u00baC in major valleys of the southwest, including Guadalquivir, Guadiana, and Tagus. The Ebro valley and northeast depressions may see even higher readings, surpassing 40-42\u00baC. Meanwhile, temperatures in the Canary Islands are expected to remain above 37\u00baC, characterized by increased haze and dry conditions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 --> <\/p>\n<p>Thursday may offer a slight cooldown along the Cantabrian coast; however, the intense heat will persist in central, southern, and eastern parts of the country, with maximum temperatures hovering between 40-42\u00baC leading into Friday.<\/p>\n<h3>What Lies Ahead?<\/h3>\n<p>As we approach the weekend, forecast models display uncertainty regarding future temperature trends. However, the likelihood of a significant cooldown is low. Extreme heat conditions are expected to systematically remain, with maximum temperatures consistently above 40\u00baC.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-figure js-desvio-figure\">\n     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Experts agree that opening windows at night and closing them during the day is no longer the best strategy against heat.\" width=\"375\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-Fourth-Heat-Wave-of-Summer-Has-a-Start-Date.jpeg\"\/>\n   <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Public Health at Risk<\/h2>\n<p>Extreme temperatures present a notable danger to public health.

The combination of extreme heat, low humidity, and strong southern winds creates a precarious scenario known as the 30-30-30 factor\u2014temperatures exceeding 30\u00baC, wind speeds above 30 km\/h, and humidity levels below 30%. This will push the fire risk index to severe levels throughout almost all of Spain.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --><\/p>\n<p>As we brace for this heat wave, it becomes crucial to stay informed and take necessary precautions to protect ourselves and the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News &#8211; 2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer, temperatures have consistently soared, leaving little respite for residents.
