Spain weather warning as Irish on holiday face ‘extreme danger’ amid Status Red heatwave
Irish holidaymakers heading to Spain in the coming days are being warned to prepare for extreme heat.
Spain’s State Meteorological Agency AEMET has issued multiple ‘maximum temperature’ weather warnings affecting much of the country.They range from Status Yellow and Status Orange to its highest Status Red alert for three zones this coming Monday. AEMET said: “At the moment, a ridge located to the east of the Peninsula, on the coast of North Africa, is giving rise to the entry of a mass of very warm and dry air, of Saharan origin, over the western Mediterranean, which is beginning to affect the Balearic Islands.
“Temperatures will continue to rise on Monday. This ascent will extend towards the interior of the peninsula, in such a way that maximum temperatures are expected above normal generalised for the time, exceeding 38C in large areas of the Peninsula and inland Majorca. It is probable that 40C will be exceeded locally in the southeast quadrant of the peninsula and points in the Ebro valley; while in the Guadalquivir valley they could 42C can already be exceeded on this day, without ruling out 44C.
“At this time it is not possible to establish the end of this episode of very high temperatures, since in the following days the uncertainty increases. But the most likely scenarios point to a progressive weakening of the ridge, which would move towards the Mediterranean, favouring an entry of winds from the north that would cool the atmosphere in the northern half and the Balearic Islands.
