This Thursday, the Community of Madrid faces a heatwave that raises temperatures to extreme levels. The clear skies and low humidity contribute to a persistent summery atmosphere.
The Community of Madrid is experiencing a day marked by extreme heat this Thursday, with temperatures reaching 36 degrees in several localities. Despite a slight decrease compared to previous days, the weather remains very hot, especially in areas of the east and south of the region. The atmospheric stability and absence of precipitation have allowed the sun to shine brightly throughout the day.
The weather conditions are favourable for enjoying the outdoors, although caution is advised due to the high temperatures. The relative humidity remains low, around 28%, which creates a dry and hot thermal sensation during the peak hours of the day. In cities like Alcalá de Henares, thermometers register a minimum of 21 ºC and a maximum of 36 ºC, while in Alcorcón, temperatures range between 20 ºC and 33 ºC.
Throughout the day, light winds from the west and northwest help maintain a dry environment, thus favouring the elevated thermal sensation. This phenomenon is not isolated; historically, July has been one of the hottest months in Madrid. Compared to previous years, where similar heatwaves were recorded, this year seems to follow that trend.
As the day progresses, citizens can expect clear skies both at noon and in the afternoon. The sunrises and sunsets also offer spectacular views: today the sun rose at 06:56 and will set at 21:42. For those planning outdoor activities or travelling around the city, it is crucial to stay hydrated and protect oneself adequately from the sun.
As we move into July, it is likely that these conditions will persist for several more days. Local authorities recommend avoiding intense physical activities during the hottest hours to prevent heat strokes and other issues related to extreme weather.
Despite the intense heat, many Madrileños take the opportunity to enjoy outdoor terraces or family outings in parks. However, it is always advisable to stay alert to weather alerts to adapt to any unexpected changes in the weather.
