Iberian Heatwave: Extreme Temperatures Migrate from Sardinia to Spain

An extreme heatwave, previously impacting Sardinia with a confirmed record temperature of 47.8°C, is now migrating toward the Iberian Peninsula. Meteorological models corroborate that a Sahara heat dome is driving this thermal anomaly, with peak temperatures projected to reach 47°C in Southwestern Europe. The precise duration and geographic extent of the extreme heat in Spain remain subject to atmospheric variability.
