Listen to the story

Valencia's weather forecast for Tuesday, September 22, points to warmer days ahead.

According to Aemet, Spain's national weather agency, temperatures will rise slightly across the region.

This warm period is known as the 'veranillo de San Miguel', a short spell of heat that sometimes appears after summer officially ends.

Experts describe this year's version as atypical, meaning it is unusual compared to normal patterns.

The Comunitat Valenciana is experiencing a dramatic farewell to summer, with temperatures rising above 30 degrees Celsius.

This kind of late-season heat can surprise residents who expect cooler autumn weather by late September.

Although the forecast promises sunshine and heat, weather can change quickly during this transitional season.

Local residents and tourists may enjoy a few more beach days before autumn weather truly arrives.

Aemet continues to monitor conditions and will update forecasts as the week continues.

For now, Valencia is holding on to summer just a little longer than usual.
