Madrid-Sana
A severe heat wave swept Spain for the second day in a row, the first in the country this year and came from Africa, where temperatures reached more than 40 degrees Celsius in several parts of the country.
And the Associated Press quoted the Meteorological Agency as saying that warnings of very hot weather were issued in most of southern and central Spain, noting that temperatures reached 40 degrees in the regions of Murcia, Valencia and eastern Andalusia, and according to forecasts, temperatures will rise to 44 degrees Celsius in the Guadalquivir Valley near Seville.
Meteorology expected that a mass of hot air loaded with dust and sand coming from Africa would cause temperatures to rise from 5 to 10 degrees Celsius above the average in many regions. The regions near the Mediterranean have not experienced such hot weather in July since 2009, prompting the authorities To ask residents to be vigilant.
In turn, French meteorologist Guillaume Sechet warned that after Canada, it is now the turn of Europe, especially Spain, to be exposed to the danger of the thermal dome.
The significant increase in temperatures is a thermal dome, a meteorological phenomenon consisting of a mountain of hot air stuck in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which is alarming as at least 500 heat-related deaths have been recorded in Canada and the province of British Columbia.
