“Strong and stable thermal dome” was promised to tourists in the Mediterranean. At the same time, the temperature under this “dome”, which was collected by the hot wind from Africa, can reach 45 degrees. Tourists vacationing in Spain and France were warned about this – there are chances that these countries will set a record for hot temperatures.
Accordingly, tourists were urged to escape from such intense heat as possible, and above all – not to go outside in the afternoon.
Weather forecasters predict that the heat wave will begin to fill southwestern Europe from the Sahara and will gradually spread to all of Western Europe this week. As a result, a “strong and stable” thermal dome should capture France and Spain. June may be the hottest in at least the last 30 years.
Extreme heat has already intensified in the Iberian Peninsula last weekend – then Spain, as well as Portugal, Morocco, and Algeria experienced heat above 40 degrees. An orange weather warning was issued for Andalusia, where the temperature reached 44 ° C. Read the details at this link.
The heat is expected to spread to France in the coming days and intensify. As before, the most stressful conditions are expected in the Costa del Sol, the Balearic, and the Canary Islands. The heat will last at least until the end of the week. By the way, the highest temperature recorded in Spain was in August last year in Andalusia – and it exceeded +47 degrees.
Tourists are strongly advised to follow all measures against the sun. Wear light clothes made of natural fabrics, do not go out during the day, and use sunscreen.
