The heatwave affecting Spain and much of Europe is setting historic records in different parts of the country. Cantabria reached 43.7°C in the municipality of Tama on Tuesday, the highest temperature ever recorded in the region in any month of the year, while large areas of the north remain under the highest heat alerts, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).
The agency reported on Wednesday that this Monday and Tuesday (22 and 23 June) were the two hottest June days since at least 1950 in mainland Spain. The average daily temperature reached 28.08°C on Monday and 28.17°C on Tuesday, surpassing the previous record of 28.01°C set on 30 June 2025.
"During this heatwave, three days have ranked among the ten hottest on record for the month of June," Aemet said.
