The extreme heat will gradually give way to a polar air mass during the weekend. <\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\">This will cause temperatures across much of the country to drop and allow a low-pressure trough to move in, leading to more widespread and intense storms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\">Despite the name of the phenomenon, one should not expect a drastic change or sub-zero temperatures. Polar air mass refers to its source in the North Atlantic, from where it reaches Spain at a very mild temperature after passing over the ocean.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"v-a-lnk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.surinenglish.com\/andalucia\/province-andalusia-only-20260724100451-nt.html#vtm_modulosEngag=noticiasrelacionadas-cmp-uno:surinenglish:noticia:1\" data-voc-vtm-id=\"in-text-traffic\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/calor-viernes-efe-kguD-U30983264928UJH-366x256Diario Sur_20260724100750-U74137207338GUf-620x434@Diar.gif\" class=\"v-a-img\" width=\"258\" height=\"180\" alt=\"The Andalusian province which is the only area in red on Spain's weather map on Friday\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\">According to the Meteored weather portal, the arrival of a polar air mass will bring cooler temperatures and unsettled weather from this Friday onwards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\">The air of Atlantic origin will spread from the north-west to the south-east, bringing a drop in temperatures that will become increasingly widespread. The fall in temperatures will take longer to reach the southeastern coast and will be more moderate there.<\/p>\n<p>\nTemperature differences\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\">As such, Malaga is not among the cities that will feel the arrival of the polar air mass most keenly, as temperatures will remain between 24-25C, just as they will in Almer\u00eda, Alicante and Murcia, according to expert Samuel Bieneer. <\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\">If the current forecasts from the European model prove accurate, however, cities such as \u00c1vila, Burgos, Cuenca, Le\u00f3n, Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia and Soria could see temperatures of 10-12C at dawn on Sunday. Intense storms are also expected, particularly on Saturday and in the northern third of mainland Spain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\">This spell of cooler weather looks set to be short-lived, according to the forecasts. On Monday, temperatures will rise again in the centre and west, while falling in the south-east. <\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\">From then on, most forecasts predict a new spell of very high temperatures, meaning we could well be talking about a heatwave again next week.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhat is a polar jet stream?\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\"> It is a tube-shaped channel of very strong winds that runs about 9-16 kilometres above the Earth&#8217;s surface. According to experts, it can be seen as a river where air flows at speeds of 100-250 kilometres per hour, with lengths of thousands of kilometres, but only a few kilometres wide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v-d-p\" style=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surinenglish.com\/malaga\/todays-weather-forecast-for-malaga-province-20230224125707-nt.html\" target=\"_self\" data-voc-vtm-id=\"in-text-traffic\" data-mrf-link=\"www.surinenglish.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Today&#8217;s weather forecast for Malaga province<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The end of the heatwave in Spain is coming closer.
