From over 40 degrees... to barely 28: the day the heat will end in Aragón

After a weekend with temperatures more typical of August than early September and heat alerts in much of Aragón, it is time to say goodbye to the heat—or at least to the sweltering temperatures. Aemet’s weekly forecast indicates that temperatures will fall by more than 10 degrees across virtually all of Aragón from Wednesday, bringing highs of around 28 degrees and cooler minimums that will feel almost wintry in places such as Teruel, where temperatures will drop to 5 degrees.
From over 40 degrees... to barely 28: the day the heat will end in Aragón

For now, Aemet has issued a yellow alert for virtually all of Aragón on Monday and Tuesday, with temperatures occasionally reaching 39 degrees in the Ebro Valley and ranging between 35 and 37 degrees in Huesca and Teruel. Minimum temperatures will be high, especially in Zaragoza and Huesca, where they will range between 22 and 23 degrees.

The same situation will continue on Tuesday, with the Pyrenees, southern Huesca, Bajo Aragón, the Ebro Valley and the Zaragoza Iberian Range under a yellow alert for highs of between 34 and 37 degrees. The temperature drop will arrive on Wednesday, with highs of 28 degrees in Zaragoza and Huesca and 26 in Teruel, where there is also a chance of rain. Minimum temperatures will be low in Teruel, at 10 degrees, and 16 degrees in Huesca and Zaragoza.

HIGHS NEARING 30 DEGREES

The week will bring considerably milder temperatures than in recent days, with highs between 29 and 32 degrees in Zaragoza, between 28 and 31 in Huesca, and between 26 and 32 in Teruel. According to Aemet’s forecast, highs will gradually rise as the weekend approaches, although they will not reach the levels recorded in recent days.

Minimum temperatures will be particularly cold in Teruel, where they could fall as low as 5 degrees, while they will remain around 15 degrees in Zaragoza and Huesca.
