Spain's state meteorological agency confirmed that Spaniards have already endured 61 days under heat wave conditions since the beginning of the year, a number that surpasses any previous record. This data represents a significant milestone in the country's climate history.
The Spanish summer has been officially classified as the hottest ever recorded, marking a new temperature record in Spanish territory. Extreme temperatures affected millions of people across the country for consecutive months.
This phenomenon is part of a broader trend of global warming that has affected the Iberian Peninsula with increasing intensity. Prolonged heat waves have become more frequent and intense in recent decades.
Spanish authorities have been warning about the need to adapt to these new climate conditions, with prevention measures and protection for populations most vulnerable to the effects of extreme temperatures.
