Spain's State Meteorological Agency said on June 7, local time, that this spring is the country's hottest since it began meteorological record-keeping in 1961. The average temperature is nearly 2 degrees Celsius higher than in previous years.
The spring season in Spain lasts from around March to May every year. The national weather agency reported that this year's spring was extremely hot, with an average temperature of 14.2 degrees Celsius and 1.8 degrees Celsius higher than the average temperature in previous years. Before that, Spain's hottest spring year was 1997, and this year's average spring temperature was 0.3 degrees Celsius higher than the 1997 spring.
AFP reported that Spain was hit by a heat wave in late April, with temperatures nearly 20 degrees Celsius higher than in previous years. In southern Spain, the highest temperature in April once reached 38.8 degrees Celsius.
Spain is experiencing an ongoing drought that is affecting agricultural production. Previously, it was reported that the drought not only pushed up the price of olive oil but could also lead to a reduction in the production of Iberian ham.
"We're getting used to breaking records," said Ruben del Campo, a spokesperson for the national weather agency AEMET.
