Specifically, the red warnings (extreme risk) will be activated in the provinces of Huesca, Teruel, Zaragoza, Mallorca, Gerona and Lérida, where it is expected to reach 42ºC in the central hours of the day.

However, cloudiness will increase in Galicia, Cantabria, Alto Ebro and Navarra, moving from west to east, with probable weak and scattered rainfall in northern Galicia and western Cantabria.
In addition, there will be scattered low clouds in the Strait, Alborán and the eastern Mediterranean area, as well as some medium and high clouds in the southeastern half of the Peninsula.
During the afternoon evolution clouds will form in the interior of the Peninsula, with a small probability of occasional storms in the center and northeast, more likely in the Iberian, Ebro and Pyrenees areas, which in general will leave little precipitation but could be accompanied by strong gusts of wind. In the Canary Islands it will be little cloudy, with intervals of low clouds to the north of the islands of greater relief and, in the afternoon, medium and high clouds in the eastern province.
The minimum temperatures will increase significantly in the Plateau and interior northwest and northeast while the maximum will increase in the northeast quadrant, eastern third, the Balearic Islands and the Strait, contrasting with a decrease in the southwest quadrant, with few changes in the rest.
