Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A severe heatwave is ongoing in the Mediterranean basin, and numerous air temperature records have been broken. After a record-breaking temperature of 48.8°C was recorded in Siracusa in Sicily (possibly the highest temperature ever recorded in Europe, as it needs to be confirmed by the WMO), it was Spain’s turn. This cloudless image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 13 August 2021, shows the location of some of the cities where record temperatures were registered, including Toledo with 44.2°C and Granada with 44.0°C. Numerous extreme events are attributable to climate change. Copernicus provides useful data, services and satellite missions to study them and monitor their effects.
