Last hours of a strange September on the beach of Castelldefels, in Baix Llobregat. This time of year should be the gateway to a cool and rainy autumn, but it paradoxically behaves like an extension of the torrid and dry summer we have had.

If there are no last minute changes, the month of October will begin with August temperatures. Time, like all of us, is disoriented, crazy and seems to have lost its way. And to think that there are still some unbelievers who deny climate change…

In fact, Aemet warns that in some parts of Spain it will reach 37 degrees this weekend. September says goodbye with daytime values ??that will be around 10 ºC above normal at this time of year, as reported by the State Meteorological Agency.

If we look at the panorama in Spain, it is not strange that bathers are returning to enjoy the beaches. Temperatures are clearly higher than normal values ??for the time in practically the entire territory and will exceed 33-35ºC in the southwestern quadrant of the peninsula, and locally even in the depressions of the northeast, northern plateau, inland areas of the extreme north and the Levante, and in the eastern Canary Islands.

In the case of Badajoz, Córdoba and Seville, maximum temperatures will reach 37ºC and in the rest of Spain 30ºC will be the general trend.
