Spain records an exceptionally high temperature of 45.7C in September, matching the joint-highest September reading on record, according to Spain’s weather agency AEMET. The measurement is taken in a southwestern town as extreme heat affects parts of the country.
Multiple outlets describe the event as part of a broader period of unusually intense and prolonged heat across Europe. Euronews adds that scientists link such heatwaves to human-driven climate change, saying it intensifies and prolongs extreme temperatures. Other reports focus more directly on the record figure and the local measurement details provided by AEMET.
While all sources agree on the temperature value and the record status for September, they differ in emphasis: one highlights the national weather-agency confirmation, and another places the reading within the wider European heatwave context and climate attribution discussed by researchers.
