Monday, October 7, 2024 As mainland Europe experiences a blistering October heatwave, British travelers are being urged to take care, with temperatures in some regions soaring to 34°C—far above the seasonal norm. Tourists heading to popular destinations like Spain, southern France, Italy, and Greece can expect the mercury to rise 10°C above the average for this time of year, creating summer-like conditions despite the autumn season. For many British holidaymakers, the heatwave is an unexpected development as they plan to enjoy mild autumnal weather across southern Europe.
However, with scorching temperatures in cities like Seville, Malaga, and Murcia, travelers are being advised to take necessary precautions to stay safe in the sun, particularly with highs forecast to reach 34°C in certain regions. Spain is at the forefront of the unseasonably warm weather, with temperatures far exceeding the October average. For instance, Malaga, which typically experiences highs of 24°C during October, is expected to hit 34°C today and 31°C tomorrow.
This drastic increase in temperature has caught many off-guard, as heatwaves in October are uncommon across much of Europe. In Seville , which is often regarded as one of Europe’s hottest cities, temperatures are forecast to reach 34°C during the weekend, following summer highs of 43°C in July and August. Badajoz , another popular city for travelers in southern Spain , is also predicted to see sweltering temperatures of 32°C .
