Recent forecasts from multiple models converge on a maximum of 29–30°C for Madrid on August 29 under clear skies, light winds shifting from northeast to southwest, and high pressure promoting strong daytime heating after a cool spell (August 27 high near 25°C). The near-even split between the 30°C and 31°C outcomes reflects minor model spread in peak insolation timing and urban heat-island amplification, with resolution hinging on whether afternoon temperatures edge above the 30°C threshold at official stations. Historical late-August averages around 30–31°C provide context, but the current setup lacks the stronger advection or cloud cover that would push readings higher or lower. Updated model runs and AEMET observations tomorrow morning will likely resolve the narrow gap.
