CONFIRMED: This has been Spain's hottest summer on record
Mainland Spain endured its hottest summer since records began in 1961, with an unprecedented 61 heatwave days across June, July and August, national weather agency Aemet said on Wednesday.
Spain is bracing for another stretch of unusually hot weather as temperatures are set to surge back towards 38°C, according to the latest forecast from the country's State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). The return of summer-like conditions will be most noticeable in southern and inland areas, with southern regions like Andalucía, Extremadura, and parts of Castilla-La Mancha expected to see maximum temperatures exceeding 36°C.
Cities such as Córdoba, Sevilla, and Badajoz are forecasted to see temperatures around or above 36°C during the coming days. While the north of Spain will remain cooler, the overall heatwave will make September resemble an extension of summer rather than the start of autumn. Residents are advised to take precautions due to the potential for temperatures to be 5°C to 10°C above normal for the time of year.
