Spain experiences its hottest summer on record, according to the national weather agency AEMET. The agency says mainland Spain endures an unprecedented run of 61 heatwave days across the summer months of June, July and August.
Both outlets report the same AEMET finding and frame it as a record-breaking period. The Local specifies that the comparison is against records that date back to 1961, while Free Malaysia Today presents the statistic without adding further historical detail. Together, the reports underline that Spain’s summer heat is not only unusually intense but also sustained over many days, as defined by AEMET’s heatwave criteria.
