The front of warm air that has been suffocating Spain for the past few weeks is finally moving on, to be replaced this week with a cold front that will see storms and a sharp decrease in temperatures of up to six degrees across the country.

Spain’s meteorological agency, Aemet, is warning of "strong storms, intense precipitation, high gusty winds and hail in Valencia, Aragon, Navarra, Catalonia, the northeast of Castilla y León and Castilla La Mancha".

Lower intensity storms are forecast in the top half of the country, as well as in the interior south east.

Aemet is forecasting that the stormy weather will last at least until Saturday August 1st.
