Heat episode keys in Salamanca: Maximum Records, at the alert threshold and a tropical night

Salamanca suddenly entered the summer, and within days, she moved from a rainy and cold spring, in terms of rain, to pass a record heat. In fact, the capital has already exceeded 30 degrees and in the next few days, it will touch the historical maximum for a month of May, according to expectations.

This is the most difficult stage of the high temperature phenomenon, which, according to AEMET, will continue until Sunday, in which up to 10 degrees are expected above the usual values.

It will be part of a ring of heat with abnormally high temperatures that will reach 34 degrees in the capital and will be higher at boycott points. Is it a lot? Yes, it represents between 5 and 10 degrees more than usual at this stage of the year. These are the keys to this extreme episode that brought the summer overnight.

This heat episode started on Wednesday, although it was already noticeable since Tuesday when it is at several points from the province and the capital Exceeding 30 degrees. It will remain until Sunday, with a small “comfort” on Friday, but with a maximum of 33-34 degrees. In addition, at least 21 degrees are expected, which will record the first tropical night of the year.

From there, it declined from the border that will drop from 30 degrees to a little more than 20 on Tuesday, already in June, when the fresh air in the Atlantic Ocean begins to reach fresh in the Atlantic Ocean, which will reduce temperatures. In addition to heat, there can also be storms in mountainous areas in the northern half that can be intense.

The historical maximum recorded in May in the capital dates back to 2001 and remained at 34.7 degrees; It does not seem impossible that during Thursday until the weekend can be overcome.

For the Spanish meteorological feature (AEMET), thermal waves are rings of no less than three consecutive days, where at least 10 % of the weather stations in a specific area are registered with maximum temperatures above value. With expectations on hand, it could be the case, but the government agency determines that temperatures should be the warmer in July and August, we will not reach this level.

AEMET spokesman, AEMET, Rubén Del Campo, says: With or without the wave, it is a high temperature ring in recent years since it lasts up to five days, and the heat is expected to be wide.

The national plan for the preventive measures of the effects of excess temperatures on health exports the temperature from which the temperature is dangerous to health. Since 2024, in the case of Salamanca, this threshold is slightly higher than now. Developed 35.3 degreesAlthough it is variable; Until 2023, the province’s reference threshold was 35.1 degrees.

However, now after the threshold was created in three different regions: South Salama (Sierra de France), the central system and the plateau, with the rest of the main municipalities. Each of these three areas has a reference temperature of its own, which announces health of the risk. In southern Salamanca, he was appointed at 34.5 degrees; In the central system, at 32.5 degrees; And on the plateau, in 34 degrees.
