Brits heading to Spain this summer may find that their holiday is more uncomfortable than usual as the country passes new air conditioning laws restricting the minimum temperature it can be set at. It comes as Spain experiences soaring with temperatures with weather alerts in place.
Under the new law air conditioning systems in Spanish shops, offices and hospitality venues can no longer be set to below 27C in the summer. The rule has been introduced among other energy-saving measures, which also ban people from raising their heating to 19C in winter, The Mirror Reports.
The regulations will prove challenging to tourists visiting the country as highs of 42C have been forecast in Spain. A weather warning for “intense heat” is in place for more than half of Spain’s provinces this week, while other parts were forecast to remain in the high 30s.
