Spain has set a new provisional heat record of 47.2 degrees Celsius (116.96 Fahrenheit) as Southern Europe swelters under a relentless summer sun. Nations across Southern Europe are dealing with extreme heat and wildfire risks.
Data from Spain’s State Meteorological Agency said the potential new record was recorded at Montoro, Cordoba, at 5:10 p.m. If confirmed, that would exceed the country’s previous record of 46.9 degrees Celsius , set nearby in July 2017.
“The heat wave we are experiencing now is very extreme and a lot of people are saying that it’s normal, as we are in summer. But it’s not, not this hot,” Royé said. “It is important to stay in cool places and to stay hydrated, and to special attention to babies and elderly, vulnerable or otherwise dependent people. Extreme precautions should be taken to avoid starting forest fires,″ said Rubén del Campo, spokesman for the Spanish meteorological service.
Temperatures in Italy rose as high as 37 degrees Celsius in Rome, Florence and Bologna, all places that the Health Ministry put on red alert.
