Spain registered in 2024 its hottest August since records began, with an average temperature at 25 degrees Celsius, the national weather agency said.
Heat records have fallen or been tied in several places around the world this summer, including in Japan and parts of China.
"August 2024 was the warmest in history in mainland Spain," the AEMET meteorological agency said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday evening.
The average temperature was two-tenths higher than that in 2003 and 2023, which were previously the warmest Augusts in the country, it said.
