The capital of Seville will reach a maximum of 34 degrees this Tuesday, with a minimum of 18 degrees, according to the weather forecast. The ultraviolet ray index will be 11, considered extreme, so it is recommended to take extra precautions outdoors.
The thermometers in Seville will again mark summer-like figures this Tuesday, July 14, with a maximum temperature of 34 degrees and a minimum of 18 degrees, according to data from the State Meteorological Agency. The day is expected to be clear, with cloud cover of barely 5% during the day and 0% at night.
Extreme ultraviolet risk
One of the most notable data points in the forecast is the ultraviolet ray index (UV) of 11, a level considered extreme by the World Health Organization. This means that sun exposure without protection can cause burns in just minutes, especially between 12:00 and 16:00 hours.
Experts recommend that both locals and visitors in Seville use high-factor sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats, as well as avoid outdoor activities during the peak hours of the day. Children and people with fair skin are the most vulnerable.
Wind and thermal sensation
Wind gusts will reach 39 kilometres per hour during the day and 37 per hour at night, which could slightly alleviate the feeling of mugginess. However, the absence of clouds and high solar radiation will keep the environment hot.
At night, temperatures will drop to 18 degrees, providing a respite after the heat of the day. The sky will be completely clear, with no chance of rain (0% precipitation).
A record climate
Seville already holds the title of city with the highest average annual temperature in continental Europe, at 19.2 degrees, according to the Köppen climate classification. July is the hottest month of the year, with highs often exceeding 40 degrees.
The absolute record in the Andalusian capital was recorded on July 23, 1995, when the thermometer reached 46.6 degrees at the Seville Airport station. The cold record, on the other hand, dates back to February 12, 1956, with -5.5 degrees.
Recommendations for citizens
In light of the high temperatures, the City Council of Seville reminds the importance of frequent hydration, avoiding heavy meals, and not leaving people or pets in parked vehicles. It is also advised to ventilate homes during the early hours of the morning and keep blinds down during the sunniest hours.
For those who have to go out, it is best to carry water, wear light and light-coloured clothing, and protect the head. Health centres usually see more cases of heatstroke on days like this.
The forecast for the coming days suggests that the heat will persist, with highs possibly exceeding 35 degrees over the weekend. The people of Seville, accustomed to these scorching summers, know that the best thing to do is to take precautions and, if possible, seek shade.
