Brits abroad in Spain should prepare for sweltering heat and soaring temperatures tomorrow as parts of the country reach 41C. Weather maps from WXCharts have turned a deep shade of red, predicting boiling hot figures on Tuesday 10 June. The entire country will see particularly high temperatures tomorrow, with the south of Spain predicted to be the hottest.
One of Spain’s popular cities and the capital of the Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia, Seville, will see temperatures climb up to 39C at 6pm on Tuesday, with surrounding towns predicted to be no less than 33C in the evening. The hottest city in Spain will be Córdoba, located to the north east of Seville.
Malaga, a popular holiday destination amongst party-loving Brits, will be starting its tourist season off with a warm 31C .
For those visiting Spain’s capital city Madrid tomorrow, make sure to pack suncream and water as figures hover around 34C. Other popular cities on the east coast, such as Alicante and Valencia, will reach a slightly more manageable – but still hot – 31C.
According to WXCharts, Barcelona will be kicking off the summer season with a sunny 32C on Tuesday 10 June, with the north of Spain seeing slightly cooler temperatures.
Bilbao, while figures more inland will reach 33C, is predicted to be in the low 20s towards the coastline, with Gijón seeing similar lower temperatures.
Back over to central Spain, the municipalities of Salamanca and Valladolid will be between 29-30C in the evening.
For those in Spain this week, staying safe in the high temperatures is key for your health. Weather forecaster the Met Office has issued advice for how to keep yourself protected, while enjoying the sunshine.
Avoiding exercise between 11am to 3pm when the sun is the strongest is important to avoid heat stroke, as well as drinking plenty of fluids. “If you are going out, take water with you, keep in the shade, wear sunscreen and wear a wide brimmed hat,” the forecaster says.
While in cities and on public transport, wearing light fabrics in light colours can help to regulate your body temperature, as well as applying “ice packs and cold compresses to wrists, neck and elbows” to cool down quickly.
