Listen to the story

Madrid will see cooler weather this Thursday, according to Aemet, Spain's national weather agency. Aemet has forecast a temperature drop, with highs reaching only 25 degrees Celsius.

The agency also expects scattered light rain across the city during the day. The rain is not expected to be heavy, and it will not fall everywhere at the same time.

This change comes as a relief after recent days when temperatures reached as high as 30 degrees Celsius in Madrid. Many residents had been dealing with uncomfortable heat before this cooler spell.

Aemet's forecast suggests that Thursday will offer a short break from the summer heat. The lower temperatures and light rain are expected to make conditions more comfortable for people in the city.

However, this cooler period is likely to be temporary. Weather patterns in the region can change quickly, and warmer temperatures could return in the days following Thursday.

For now, residents of Madrid can expect a milder day, with mild temperatures and some rain, offering a welcome change from the recent heatwave conditions.
