The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has released its temperature forecast for the coming months. However, the information is very disturbing. Spain, like other countries, is facing extreme heatand the situation will not improve, quite the contrary.
According to AEMET, which relied on information from the Copernicus program, temperatures will be higher than expected between August and September. But not only in Spain, but all over the world.
“It is striking in the ECMWF Copernicus temperature forecast for the August-September-October quarter that virtually all of the planet’s land masses (and much of the oceans) are likely to be warmer than normal,” mention.
AEMET reports that in Europe there is a very high probability, between 50 and 70%, that during the next quarter there will be the highest temperatures recorded in a long time. The agency is based on data obtained between 1993 and 2016.
On the other hand, AEMET estimates that “above normal” rainfall will fall in the south of the old continent. Be careful as this forecast covers almost all of Spain.
“If we zoom in on Europe, we see that the most likely scenario for the August-September-October quarter is that rainfall is above normal in the south of the continent, including most of Spain, with a probability of 40 at 50%.”
Continuing with Spain, AEMET It says that the first four days of next week, i.e. from 17 to 21 July, will be extremely high temperatures: 40 to 42ºC, According to the report. First of all, in the Mediterranean basin, which includes the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
Next week, in addition, above-normal temperatures will be recorded in the east and south of the peninsula. Of course, in the north of the same region there will be an enviable coolness of the climate.
Unfortunately, according to AEMET estimates, an extreme heat wave in the south of the peninsula and the islands It will last until the first week of August..
The rest of the world must also take precautions in the next three months. On a global scale, there will be consequences caused by the El Niño phenomenon. Southeast Asia, as well as northern South America, will face drought. It will be quite the opposite in southeastern South America and eastern Africa, where rain is forecast.
Temperatures predicted by AEMET confirm hellish year
2023 already holds the record for being the hottest year on record. Without going into details, a week before temperature record was broken three times.
According to the US National Center for Environmental Prediction, the average global temperature reached 17.23 degrees Celsius (63.01 Fahrenheit).
There are several factors that cause this hellish heat. First, it is the damage that we ourselves have caused to the planet. Yes, we are strengthening changing of the climate. The other is the already mentioned phenomenon Boywhose affectation reaches the whole world.
Salimul Huq, director of the Bangladesh International Center for Climate Change and Development, has already warned that even more extreme heat waves are coming. The temperature forecast from AEMET and Copernicus confirms this.
Somehow society is coping with the heat wave as much as possible. However, it is inevitable to think about what will happen next. If we have difficulty with these temperatures in 2023, What will happen, for example, in 10 or 20 years?
