Heat waves

The meteorological phenomenon has formed and caused an anomaly of more than 3 ° C in the Equatorial Pacific, which could affect weather conditions around the world.

The grants will be available from the end of October and can be applied for by private individuals, health centres, schools, industry and businesses. EUR 120 million will be allocated to this programme. 

Average temperatures have been very warm, 3.2 ° C. June and July were the warmest since records were recorded, while August was the second warmest, only exceeded by 2003.

On Wednesday temperatures will remain unchanged, but on Thursday there will be a significant rise, and thermometers will be above 30 ° C in Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Pamplona/Iruña.

Dozens of rural professionals have gathered in Vitoria-Gasteiz in response to the call for the association Ataca (Association of Farmers and Farmers of Álava and Treviño) to urge the Basque Government to declare the area of drought in order to receive specific aid to deal with the effects of drought and heat waves.

By age, 92% of fatalities were over 65, according to estimates by the Carlos III Health Institute's Daily Mortality Monitoring System (Momo).

Education is already piloting four schools in Bizkaia: the CEIP Bagatza in Barakaldo, the IES Luis Briñas-Santutxu in Bilbao, the IPI Pagasarribide in Bilbao and the CEIP Indautxu in Bilbao.

The Escuza ward of Basurto Hospital, which covers the psychiatric area, has no cold air conditioning and temperatures of up to 31.9 degrees inside the building. The Labour Inspectorate considers that there are structural problems in the building and asks Osakidetza for measures to ensure adequate thermal conditions.

The Basque Government has extended the yellow warning for high and very high temperatures until Friday, when maximum temperatures will be around 37ºC in the Basque Country.

For the next three days, the highs will be 37 degrees in southern Álava, 35 degrees in the inner Cantabrian and 31 degrees on the coast.

The Danube, the second longest river in Europe, is experiencing a historic drought, and its flow drop has revealed surprising footprints from the past: the remains of a mammoth A000s have appeared in Bulgaria, and dozens of Nazi ships sunk in World War II have been exposed again in Serbia.

It was the heat wave from the 5th to the 12th of the month that broke records, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees in many places.

From noon onwards, however, the clouds will dissipate and the sun will shine. In the Ribera it will be hot today and a yellow warning has been activated. Tomorrow, the Rioja Alavesa, the centre of Navarre and the Pyrenees will also be under warning for maxima above 35 degrees. 

Despite positive developments during the night, the heat is hampering the extinction efforts, especially in Zamora, where the fires in Madrid, Ávila and Castellón are still active, although they are already perimeter.

The maximum temperatures will be around 40 ° C in the Ribera (yellow warning), which could be around 41 ° C, and 39 ° C in Pamplona and Estella, so the orange alert has been activated Nafarroa centre and in the Pyrenees.

Night extinguishment work has made it possible to improve the state of the fires in the Community of Madrid, Ávila and Vall d'Uixo, before the start of a new heat wave, scheduled from today.

The orange alert set for today will keep temperatures above 40 degrees and the forest fire risk warning will remain in effect in Álava.
