Madrid to leave behind 25 ºC with a much cooler Sunday
Madrid faces its last days above 25 ºC. The change will begin on Saturday with more clouds and light rain. Sunday could bring highs of 16 ºC and lows of 8 ºC. Forecasts still differ.
This Wednesday, Madrid will reach 27 ºC; Alcalá de Henares, Aranjuez, Getafe y Navalcarnero will see 28 ºC. Collado Villalba will have a high of 26 ºC.
On Sunday, 18 October, the capital could wake up to temperatures between 8 and 9 ºC, compared to the 17 ºC forecast for this Wednesday. The contrast will be especially noticeable early in the day.
Forecasts published on Tuesday put Sunday's high at 18 ºC and the low at 9 ºC. An update on Wednesday lowered those figures to 16 and 8 ºC. The drop compared to previous days could be around 8 ºC, although the numbers are still changing.
Saturday the 17th will be the turning point. More clouds and light rain are expected in Madrid, with a high still above 20 ºC. Friday the 16th will be the last day of this spell of high temperatures.
Meteorologist José Miguel Viñas summed up the forecast for the capital on Tuesday, 13 October: highs would exceed 25 ºC between that day and Friday. This Wednesday, mostly clear skies are expected, with intervals of high clouds.
The chance of rain is concentrated in the Sierra, where there could be weak, scattered, and occasional showers. A widespread episode across the whole region is not expected. For those planning to go outdoors, the time slots for walking dogs in Madrid's parks may also be useful.
The forecast shows a transition rather than an identical change across the region. The Sierra is where there is a chance of light rain this Wednesday. Saturday is expected to bring light rain in Madrid. The temperatures forecast for Sunday have changed between updates.
