What happened

Settled weather will dominate most of Spain this weekend, with rain confined to the north and the Pyrenees as temperatures rise sharply; next week the south could approach 38°C.

Why it matters

Saturday will start with a weak weather front that will bring light, scattered showers to Galicia and the Cantabrian coast.

Common ground

In the afternoon, developing cloud will build over the mountain areas and the Pyrenees may see locally heavy thunderstorms.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
