Record-Breaking Heatwave to Hit Valencia at End of May

Valencia Faces Unprecedented May Heatwave Valencia, Spain – Residents of Valencia and Alicante are bracing for an unusually intense heatwave at the end of May 2025. According to À Punt Mèdia, a local news outlet, the predicted temperatures for the last three days of the month are significantly higher than any recorded since 1950, based on data from the Aemet. "We are looking at temperatures typical of July," stated a weather presenter in a recent video report. The forecast predicts highs around 30°C along the coast, rising to over 35°C in inland areas. This significant deviation from historical norms has prompted concerns about potential health impacts and the need for preventative measures. The Aemet's data confirms the unusual nature of the forecast. The weather presenter added, "These temperatures are unprecedented for the end of May." The unusually warm weather is attributed to a persistent anticyclone, which is expected to maintain the high temperatures for several days. Authorities are advising residents to take precautions, such as staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun, to mitigate the risks associated with the intense heat. The heatwave serves as a stark reminder of the impact of climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events.
