What's the weather forecast for today in Castellón?

The fire in the municipality of La Vall d'Uixon, in Castellón, entered today on the fourth day on which it is active, with weak winds and possible visibility problems, according to the Aemet State Meteorology Agency.

The same source has pointed out that the night has been meteorologically quiet, with weak ground winds and downward winds of up to 10 km/h from the mountains towards the valley pool in the fire area, with humidity around 80% (over 90% in mountain areas) and temperatures around 20 ° C on flat land and 18 ° C on mountain areas.

In addition, thermal inversions have been formed in the lower layers due to night radiation cooling, which, combined with the weak early morning wind, could cause the visibility and air quality conditions in the fire area "not to be good," Aemet said.
