The Associated Presswere under alert Friday as a wave of intense heat began sweeping across the country, leaving residents sweltering through May temperatures that rank among the hottest in two decades.
The State Meteorological Agency said it expected the “unusual and extreme” temperatures to peak on Saturday. By Friday, a handful of records had already been set. In the southern Spanish city of Jaén, the temperature climbed to 38.7 C — 15 degrees above the seasonal average — in a record for the month of May. In the central city of Cuenca, the daily low temperature of 19.5 C was two degrees higher than the previous May minimum.
The high temperatures are forecast to push northeast in the coming days, with little relief expected until after Sunday.
