Spain faces extreme heatwaves and major forest fires

Spain is experiencing extreme weather conditions, characterized by intense heatwaves and severe forest fires. Aemet has activated heat alerts for 15 autonomous communities, with eleven regions under orange-level warnings. Temperatures are expected to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in several areas, particularly in river valleys in the southwest.

Simultaneously, several regions face warnings for heavy rain and storms, including Andalusia, Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha, and Murcia. Extremadura is also under an orange alert for high temperatures.

Forest fires are causing significant damage. In Huesca, the Peñas de Riglos fire has burned over 5,700 hectares and threatens the San Juan de la Peña Monastery. In Huelva, the Niebla fire has affected 31,000 hectares, displacing hundreds of people. Additionally, the Baix Llobregat region is facing a very high forest fire risk in 25 of its 30 municipalities.
