A new heat wave is rolling towards Europe. Extreme temperatures of up to 44 degrees are threatened. Which holiday regions are particularly badly affected.
Kassel – As every summer, air from the north of Africa heads towards Europe. According to wetter.de, the heat bubbles from the Sahara are sometimes particularly intense this year. The European heat record was also shaking. For example, people in south-west Europe have had to endure heat peaks of over 40 degrees.
Spain is particularly affected by the extreme summer weather. “At its peak, the weather computers calculate maximum values of up to almost 44 degrees in places. These are definitely dangerous temperatures – especially for the elderly. And for everyone else, too, the motto must be to take it easy and drink enough. Especially since it barely cools below 25 degrees even at night, ”says RTL meteorologist Björn Alexander.
Extreme heat wave in Europe: Up to 44 degrees
It will be the hottest in Andalusia and the Murcia region. “According to current forecasts, Granada will be the hottest city with around 43, maybe even 44 degrees. But maximum values of 41 degrees and more are also possible in Murcia, ”predicts the meteorologist.
In Mallorca, too, people are probably working up a sweat not only because of the increasing number of Corona * cases. Directly on the coast it is not that hot during the day, but: “In the middle of the Balearic island, however, it can also get 36 to 38 degrees. At night, the lowest values are still very sweaty and rather slack-hostile 24 degrees, ”says Alexander.
Extreme heat wave in Europe: Saharan dust is also coming – rain of blood possible?
According to the expert, the hot air bubble from northern Africa also comes with plenty of Saharan dust. The sky will therefore be partly milky. It is uncertain whether the so-called blood shower is also possible. “There would be enough dust from the depths of the Sahara,” says Alexander.

In large parts of Spain there is no rain to wash away this dust. If you don’t go on vacation to Spain * because of Corona, you can finally enjoy summer weather in Germany. According to the expert, a few days with partly hot temperatures of around 30 degrees are to be expected. In Germany, these are mainly possible in the south and east: “So maybe even a small heat wave. But not guaranteed 35 degrees and more. ” (ebb) * hna.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
