Overview
- Aemet warned on May 27 that a late‑May warm‑air episode could push temperatures toward 39–40°C in parts of Spain, with air masses notably hotter than the 1991–2020 climatological average.
- Forecasters say a DANA, a cut‑off low that can trigger strong convection, is expected to produce locally intense storms in the northeastern peninsula with heavy rain, hail and very strong wind gusts.
- The agency also predicts calima from the Sahara will affect the Canary Islands and portions of the west and southwest peninsula, which can cut visibility and raise particulate concentrations.
- Local municipal forecasts for Galicia, using Aemet data, report mostly dry, sunny conditions for May 26–27 with daytime highs generally 28–32°C and afternoon gusts recorded up to about 37–39 km/h in towns such as Tui and Pontecesures.
- Authorities advise people to stay hydrated, follow Protección Civil and meteorological alerts, and expect mixed local effects on daily life and tourism as warm, dry weather continues in some areas while storms threaten others.
