AEMET, which is Spain’s national meteorological organisation, is expecting temperatures to soar between now and August and this morning, the Balearics, along with other parts of Spain, were placed on weather alert for the first heatwave of the year.
Ruben del Campo said that the next three months are going to be unusually hot, probably the hottest since records began in 1981.

That was in the past. The next one will be the first. Then, the one in mid July when it hits 43° will be the first. The others are irrelevant. The important thing is being first. You know, #1. Global. Universal. Leading. All that.
The 1st heatwave of the year??? Please then explain why we had record temperatures in May only afew weeks ago?? 38.5c in Sa Pobla. Was that not a heatwave then?? Very quick to forget.
