Imagine this: Spain has turned into a real heat hell! Over the weekend, the town of El Granado, right near the Portuguese border, hit a scorching 46 degrees Celsius — a new national record for June! Yes, you read that right, 46 degrees! The previous record of 45.2 degrees set in Seville now looks like a weak shadow compared to this blazing heat.
But wait, there’s more. Hundreds of weather stations across the country reported temperatures above 40 degrees, and nighttime temperatures didn’t drop below 30 degrees. Sounds like sleeping in an oven, right? Experts warn that these kinds of nights can seriously threaten people’s health, especially the elderly and those with breathing problems.
And while Spain is burning, neighboring Portugal isn’t spared either. In the tourist region of Algarve, the thermometer hit around 40 degrees, which is totally unusual for June. This early and intense heatwave casts a dark shadow over a summer that’s just getting started.
What’s happening to our planet? Is this just the beginning, or will we soon see temperatures climb even higher? As the climate changes, people are struggling with the fallout — from health risks to disruptions in daily life.
If you think this is just another hot day, think again. This heat is no joke. So, how are you surviving these blazing nights? Got any tricks to beat the heat? Share your story — maybe your tip will save someone’s nerves (or life)!
