The State Meteorological Agency activates a yellow alert for this Tuesday in the capital of Seville, with maximum temperatures of 38 degrees. The high temperatures will continue throughout the week.
The mercury shows no mercy in Seville. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has activated a yellow alert for maximum temperatures this Tuesday in the capital of Seville, where thermometers will reach 38 degrees. The day will start with mostly clear skies, and from midday onwards, the clouds will tend to disappear completely, leaving an afternoon of radiant sunshine and intense heat.
The minimum temperatures will be around 21 degrees, very close to the 20 recorded today, so the nights will also be warm. However, the thermal sensation could be even higher due to humidity and lack of wind. AEMET recommends taking extra precautions, especially during the hottest hours of the day, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun.
Wednesday, the hottest day of the week
If Tuesday is already a warning, Wednesday promises to be even more stifling. According to AEMET's forecast, the capital of Seville will experience a day with few clouds and a maximum temperature of 39 degrees. The minimum will remain unchanged at 21 degrees, but the maximum thermal sensation will reach 40 degrees. The wind will blow lightly from the southwest, offering little relief.
For Seville residents who have errands to run or work outdoors, Wednesday will be the toughest day. Health authorities remind everyone of the importance of staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, and protecting themselves from the sun. Schools and senior centres usually activate special protocols during these dates to prevent heat strokes.
Thursday, no respite, and a weekend of relief
Thursday will continue the trend of intense heat, although it will not reach the peaks of Wednesday. The day will start clear, and throughout the day, some clouds will appear that will not prevent the thermometer from marking 39 degrees maximum and 21 minimum. The light breezes from the southwest will hardly be noticeable. No precipitation is expected, so the risk of forest fires remains high.
The weekend will bring relative relief. Both Saturday and Sunday will have clear skies, but maximum temperatures will drop to 33 degrees on Saturday and 34 degrees on Sunday. Minimum temperatures will also decrease slightly, to 19 and 20 degrees respectively. The wind will be practically non-existent on Saturday, and on Sunday it will blow more gently.
For outdoor plans, the weekend will be more bearable, although the heat will still be a major factor. The terraces and municipal pools in the capital, such as those at the San Pablo Sports Centre or the Hytasa Sports Centre, expect a high influx of visitors. Residents of neighbourhoods like the centre, Triana, or Nervión should pay special attention to the hottest hours, where the asphalt and lack of green spaces further elevate the thermal sensation.
AEMET insists that this information is provisional and that alerts may be updated. They recommend checking the updated forecasts on their website and following the guidelines from Civil Protection. Meanwhile, the people of Seville are preparing for another week of extreme heat, hoping that the weekend will bring that little relief they so desperately need.
