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.
