The very first extreme heatwave of the 2023 season is forecast for the end of April across Spain. Record-breaking temperatures up to nearly 40 °C are possible.

According to the recent weather forecast for #Spain and #Portugal, temperatures will widely push into the mid to upper 30s, possibly very close to +40 °C (104 °F) in southern Spain at the end of April. And around 35 °C in southern Portugal. The first intense heatwave of 2023 will challenge the all-time heat records for both countries.

For many European places, April has been more dynamic and cooler than March, but Spain has been something else, literally the opposite. So after a very warm March and April, most of the Iberian peninsula is also very dry.

With the driest March in twenty years, drought conditions are already strengthening, and wildfires have also been reported. Pretty early in spring, which may hint summer will be extreme.
