Britons travelling to the Canary or Balearic islands have been warned that temperatures are likely to be much higher than normal over the next three months.
Aemet, the Spanish state’s meteorological agency, expects that there is a 60% chance that the Canary Islands will be warmer than usual this summer, while giving a 70% chance that the same will apply to the Balearic islands. Local authorities have launched an emergency heat prevention plan which is set to last until September 15.
While this might sound ideal for anyone who is in need of a bit of sun and plans on travelling to either holiday destination, temperatures are already expected to reach 42C this weekend. These high temperatures would make any sort of outdoor activities very difficult for tourists.
