The heat is going to continue to cause a bit of a stir this Wednesday in the middle of August. In several regions of Spain yellow alerts will be activated due to the risk of high temperatures, with maximums that could exceed 38C and even 40 degrees in areas of Andalucía and Extremadura.

However, in addition to this extreme heat, the forecast of the state weather agency (Aemet) also points to a yellow risk of locally strong storms and showers accompanied by hail in the north of the Andalucía region as well as in the eastern Iberian Peninsula and in the south of Castilla La Mancha.

As far as Andalucía is concerned, the heat, rain and storm warnings affect the provinces of Cordoba, Granada and Jaén. The warning for rain and storms will be active from 12 noon to 9pm in the Sierra de Pedroches, Morena and Condado; Cazorla and Beas de Segura (Jaén) as well as Guadix and Baza (Granada). Meanwhile, the warning for high temperatures (maximum of 38C) is yellow in the countryside of Cordoba, Morena and Condado-Jaén, the Guadalquivir valley of Jaén as well as the city and Montes de Jaén area of Jaén. Accumulated rainfall of 15mm in one hour is expected in different areas, as well as gusts of strong or very strong winds as a significant phenomenon.
