THIS week will bring dramatic weather to Spain, with highs of 35C, storms and rain. 

The country’s first real heat will arrive this week, with temperatures above 30 degrees in many areas.

On Wednesday, May 8, showers and chills will give way to an anticyclone, leading to high temperatures across the country, according to Spain’s national weather agency, Aemet. 

Today, temperatures have remained around 25-30C in many areas of the peninsula, including  Zaragoza, Toledo, Ciudad Real, Madrid, Caceres, Badajoz, Sevilla, Cordoba and Jaen.
