MADRID — Areas of southern Spain such as Seville and Cordoba registered scorching temperatures of up to 44 degrees Celsius on Monday as the first heatwave of the summer hit the Iberian country, sending people to seek shade from a blistering sun. Heatwaves in June have become more frequent in recent years, part of a global pattern of rising temperatures, widely attributed by scientists to human activity.“In the last 12 years the frequency of heatwaves in June has tripled,” said Ruben del Campo, spokesman for national weather agency AEMET. Six heatwaves have been registered in June since 2011, up from just five in the 35 years before that, according to AEMET.
The weather phenomenon is expected to last until Wednesday, encompassing the southern region of Andalusia, but also Madrid, Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha, where thermometers could reach 40-42C.
