TEMPERATURES rocketed to an unseasonally-high 48ºC in the shade in Sevilla this weekend, making it the hottest city in Spain.
The State meteorological agency, AEMET, raised its weather warning to orange for most of Andalucía in southern Spain on Saturday and Sunday ahead of predictions that the mercury would soar to 40ºC in the shade – figures rarely seen outside of July and August.
But today (Monday) is expected to cool down across the country and temperatures in the high 20s, more typical of those of the month of June, are forecast.
