Heat wave in the middle of winter in Spain: around 30 degrees Celsius was measured in the south and east of the country on Thursday. According to weather agency Aemet, the thermometer in the Valencia region on the Mediterranean coast rose to 29.5 degrees in the afternoon. Just south of this in the Murcia region 28.5 degrees was measured and in Málaga in Andalusia in the south 27.8 degrees.
The weather authority spoke of an “anomaly” in the middle of winter; Several January temperature records were broken in various places in Spain. Temperatures at almost 400 weather stations – and therefore almost every second – reached or exceeded 20 degrees.
The heat wave, which also affected southeastern France, was caused by a heat wave over the Mediterranean Sea. Spain has been repeatedly hit by heat waves for some time and in December it was 29.9 degrees in Málaga. At the same time, the country is experiencing severe drought in Andalusia and Catalonia. According to scientists, continued global warming, mainly due to the use of fossil fuels, will lead to increasingly unpredictable weather patterns.
