Temperatures in southern Spain today reached just over 28C – the second-highest value recorded in January since 1985.<\/p>\n

AEMET, Spain’s state meteorological agency, reported that maximum temperatures recorded at one observatory in the Mediterranean region of Murcia hit 28.2C.<\/p>\n

At another, provisional data showed the temperature peaked at 28.5C.<\/p>\n

The unusually warm weather came close to breaking records, becoming the second-highest value recorded at one observatory for January in 38 years, the agency said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Many other parts of Spain also enjoyed temperatures in the 20s, including Alicante which had a maximum temperature of 25C and Granada with 26C.<\/p>\n

The warm weather lured people outside, with many pictured sunbathing or playing volleyball on a beach in Valencia, which also reached temperatures in the mid-20s.<\/p>\n

Despite enjoying the weather, some tourists expressed concern for the unusually hot temperatures.<\/p>\n

“We’re a bit surprised that it’s so pleasantly warm… And it’s nice for us now, but we don’t think it’s completely normal,” Thorsten Petersen, 66, said while in Madrid.<\/p>\n

Adela, a local pensioner, added: “Those who say there is no climate change just have to look at what’s happening: it’s either too cold or too warm. I think this is a disaster.”<\/p>\n

Scientists have linked scorching temperatures and dry and windy conditions in many parts of the world, including southern Europe, to climate change.<\/p>\n

In Spain alone, the record temperatures caused consecutive heatwaves which sparked wildfires and droughts.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in neighbouring Portugal also reached 23C in some regions on Thursday, with the weather agency IPMA expecting Friday to reach 24C – around eight to nine degrees above normal levels.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
