The heat will not last though.
Temperatures are expected to start falling on Sunday, with Del Pino forecasting a ‘significant’ drop of between seven and ten degrees on Monday 28 September.
He described September as ‘very warm’, with temperatures above average on every day of the month except the 16th and 17th.
Easterly levante winds are forecast to continue for most of the week, generally light inland but stronger in places.
They are expected to ease gradually, although Del Pino warned that a stronger levante could return on Wednesday.
A coastal warning is in place for the Cádiz coastline due to rough sea conditions, and Aemet has advised caution for anyone at sea or on the coast during this period.
