Spain sees winter heatwave amid warning of extreme summer
Spain’s weather agency says abnormally high temperatures for the season are set to continue in many parts of the country over the weekend.
The hot spell has led to an almost summer-like feel in many coastal areas as people take to the beaches to sunbathe or have a winter swim.
The country’s AEMET weather agency said the high temperatures affecting southern are due to an anticyclone carrying a hot air mass from further south.
