ARCHIVED - Andalusia was hottest place in Spain on Monday with 43.6 degrees in Huelva
All of the ten hottest places in Spain exceeded 42 degrees Celsius
Although it felt breathlessly hot for all of us in Murcia with temperatures in the mid 30s, feel pity for the residents of Andalucía, which recorded the hottest temperatures in Spain, all well into the 40s. When temperatures reach this level it’s almost hard to breathe and sleeping at night is a challenge, with temperatures remaining stubbornly in the 20s in these areas even as night falls.
Huelva was the hottest place in Spain recording 43.6, Sevilla 42.7, Córdoba 42.7 and Badajoz 42.5; all of the top ten temperatures in Spain were in excess of 42 degrees Celsisus. That's hot!!!!
It’s interesting to note that the areas with lowest night-time minimums are all those still experiencing problems with Covid-19.
Take care during these spells of hot weather
Every year our regional governments issue warnings and run campaigns to minimise the risk to the elderly and infirm in particular, the main thrust of which is:
-Drink lots of water
-Stay out of the sun as much as possible and be particularly careful if working out in the sun
-Minimise your exposure to the sun
-Have a siesta during the hottest period
-Always wear high factor sunscreen, hat and quality sunglasses
-Wear loose clothing
-Be careful when jumping into cold water after exposure to hot sun, cool the body by splashing with water first; this can shock the body causing dizziness and even loss of consciousness; this often leads to drowning in the sea
- Make sure summer visitors are aware how dangerous this hot sun can be and don´t overdo the sun bathing!
- Be aware of the increased fire risk
- UVA is just as dangerous as the direct sun and clear skies mean high UVA levels, so always wear good quality sunglasses; don´t buy cheap rubbish from street markets, particularly for children.
