Torrid lows and highs of 43 °C: on the eve of the peak of the heatwave

Source Summary

The heat has intensified this Sunday, coinciding with the start of astronomical summer, with maximums that have already exceeded 40°C for the first time this year in the regions of Ponent. This situation will continue and worsen towards Monday, with even more intense heat and the possibility of exceeding 42°C or 43°C in Ponent and the interior of the Ebre. A heatwave with unusual values that will accompany us, at least, until Tuesday, although afterwards we will in no case have thermal values below the climatic average. Much caution, therefore, with the high risk of forest fires in a week marked by the use of pyrotechnics in all the Catalan Countries.
