We're still in extreme temperatures, stifling heat up to 40 degrees today

Waiting for the final records, it seems that June will close as the hottest ever lived in the Basque Country. The heat wave will not rest until at least tomorrow.

The first summer heat wave continues to hit the Basque Country after a suffocating weekend, especially in southern Navarre, with temperatures of up to 39 ° C.

Today, temperatures will rise again, with highs between 35 and 40 ° C in the interior and the Ebro axis, and warmer temperatures along the coast. In the Basque capitals, the thermometer is also expected to exceed 30 ° C, and the minimum temperatures will remain above 20 ° C.

The atmosphere is pleasant on the coast, but a remarkable thermal rise is expected throughout the day. Although the skies will be cloudy, there may be weak showers in the afternoon, especially in Álava.

The Basque Government's Department of Safety has activated between today and tomorrow the yellow warning for high temperatures, which could be between 19 and 20 ° C on Tuesday and between 29 and 36 ° C, depending on the area.

In Navarre, the orange alert will remain in effect from 1 noon in the Ribera, and the highs could reach 40 degrees.

With this scenario, beaches, rivers and swimming pools are the main shelter against heat; many will look for air conditioning by noon.

Waiting for the final records, it seems that June, which we're closing today, will be the hottest month ever, and the heat wave will not give a break, at least until tomorrow.
