Spain endures record heatwave as May to become hottest month of the century
Euronews says Spain is feeling the heat after temperatures soared this weekend, reaching up to 15 degrees above average for the season.
With some areas reaching a scorching 44ºC on Saturday, this unprecedented heatwave could make May the hottest month of the century.
At least 13 regions were on alert due to heat, Spain’s State Meteorological Agency AEMET said, and the temperatures could provoke storms in five of them.
“These will probably be among the warmest temperatures we’ve seen in May in the 21st century,” agency spokesman Rubén del Campo said.
The mercury rose to 42.3 degrees Celsius on Friday afternoon in Andujar, in the southern Andalucia region, after reaching 39.5 degrees Thursday.
