Recent forecasts from Spain’s AEMET and European models show Madrid’s August 15 maximum likely peaking near 33–36 °C, following several days above 37 °C under a persistent high-pressure ridge. The implied probabilities, with 33 °C at 43.5 % and 34 °C at 21.5 %, reflect trader consensus on modest cooling from light Atlantic flow and possible scattered showers that limit peak heating across the central plateau. Climatologically, mid-August averages hover near 32–33 °C, but the current setup features drier soils and lighter winds that could still allow brief spikes toward 35 °C if subsidence strengthens. Ensemble spread remains modest two days out, with the next AEMET and ECMWF updates expected to tighten resolution criteria around official station readings.
