Friday, May, 13, will be marked by cloudy skies in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, although abundant low clouds are expected in the north of Galicia and the Cantabrian area. Morning fog will cover the upper Ebro basin and the cloudiness will create the possibility of thundery showers in the interior of the Peninsula in the afternoon.

In the Canary Islands there will be an abundance of clouds, without ruling out the possibility of a few weak and isolated showers on La Palma. Calima, the Saharan desert dust, is also expected in Ceuta, Melilla and the Balearic Islands, and it is not ruled out that it will extend to a large part of the southern half of the peninsula and the Balearic Islands.

Thus, it is expected to reach 34ºC in the Guadalquivir valley.

Hail could also fall over the Central System, the Community of Madrid and Castilla La Mancha, although, this is less likely.

Fog banks will continue to form in the morning in Galicia and on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea. The same will happen with the haze, which will turn orange in Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla.
