Spain Under Unprecedented Heatwave

In July 2024, Spain is experiencing consecutive and unprecedented heatwaves, significantly affecting daily life and necessitating precautionary measures. The country has faced two severe heatwaves this month, with a forecast for a third one approaching soon. The heatwaves have affected all Spanish regions, prompting the issuance of warnings for extreme temperatures. A brief period of lower temperatures is expected in Spain, but it will be temporary, as predictions indicate a new rise in temperatures over the weekend and into next week. Concerns are growing about the potential for wildfires due to the heat and drought, as well as heat-related casualties similar to last year, with heatwaves having substantial impacts, particularly for the elderly and those with health issues.
