A warm air mass coming from Africa is moving toward Spain and France over the weekend, with conditions worsening from Monday. Multiple reports say the spell runs from this Saturday until Tuesday, 23 June. During this period, temperatures in Spain are expected to rise sharply, with highs possibly exceeding 40°C in some regions. In parts of the country, the hottest readings are forecast to reach around 45°C. The same air mass is also expected to affect France, indicating a broader heat episode across the Iberian Peninsula and nearby areas. Forecasters describe the event as Spain’s first major heatwave of the year. The reports attribute the temperature increase to the arrival of warm air from North Africa and note that the peak of the heat is expected after Monday, within the stated timeframe. Authorities typically monitor such events due to the health risks posed by extreme temperatures, though the cited summaries focus mainly on the expected meteorological conditions rather than specific measures.
