People waved fans, glugged water, and splashed themselves at fountains in Spain on Saturday as the country sweltered under unseasonably high temperatures pushing close to 40°C (104°F) in some places. | Reuters

AEMET said average temperatures in Jaen were 16C higher than normal for this time of year. Elsewhere in Spain, temperatures were at least 7°C higher than usual.“This year it seems to have gone directly to summer, but we have to keep going,” she said. “It’s scorching but it’s our job and has to be done.”

AEMET spokesperson, Ruben del Campo, said earlier this week that, if officially confirmed, it could be the first-ever heatwave recorded in May. “This episode is very unusual for mid-May and could be one of the most intense episodes in the last 20 years,” he said. In Cordoba, Andalusia, a group of women who had come from Madrid for a hen party were feeling the heat, one dressed as a pink flamingo.
