Spain is bracing for a week of extreme weather as a DANA (isolated depression at high levels) approaches from the southwest, bringing significant temperature increases and calima (dust haze) across the country.

The Agency State Meteorology (Aemet) warns that temperatures could soar to 41 degrees Celsius in the northeast, the Meseta, and parts of Andalusia and Galicia.

Yellow alerts for high temperatures are in effect in several provinces, including Córdoba, Jaén, and Ourense.

While the northern regions may experience some morning clouds and light rain, the rest of the country will see mostly clear skies.

The heat is expected to intensify, with nighttime temperatures remaining high, particularly in coastal areas.

This extreme weather pattern is likely to persist through the week, with potential thunderstorms in mountainous regions.
