Debate over banning short-distance flights takes off, but the cons outweigh the pros
July start brings rain, hail and thunder in northern Spain
30/06/2018
JULY is set to kick off with rain and thunder storms in the northern half of the country and western Canary Islands – although the Mediterranean will continue to hot up with temperatures in the high 30s expected on the first day of the month.
Tomorrow (Sunday, July 1) will see 18 provinces on 'yellow alert' for rain – the whole of the regions of Aragón, Cantabria, La Rioja, Navarra, Galicia, Asturias, the Basque Country except for the province of Vizcaya – of which Bilbao is the capital – plus Catalunya's only land-locked province, Lleida; Guadalajara, in Castilla-La Mancha, and three provinces in Castilla y León, being Palencia, Valladolid and Burgos.
Hail and thunder are forecast in Galicia and along the Cantabrian Sea coast, the upper Ebro valley and the north and east of Castilla y León, with possible isolated showers in the far western region of Extremadura.
Rain in the western Canary Islands – more probable in mountainous areas – but cloudless skies in the east of the region are on the cards, whilst conditions on the east coast of the mainland and in the Balearic Islands are expected to remain stable.
Temperatures will rise across the eastern Cantabrian Sea, the upper Ebro valley and north-east of the mainland, but will fall across the west and in the western Canaries.
In general, a south wind in the Strait of Gibraltar, Alborán Sea – between the province of Almería and the Morocco-Algeria border – and in Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria mean a general warm start to July, albeit a wet one in parts.
