The southwest current that prevails in the lower levels of the atmosphere on the coasts of Africa and the Central Mediterranean will transport warm air masses to our region and cause very high temperatures in our country, which will be maintained at least until Friday 19/7.

In the coastal areas of the mainland the maximum temperature value will be 2 to 4 degrees lower due to the sea breeze.
