<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Molina de Segura and Archena among the top 10 hottest places in Spain yesterday

Even as we enter a week where temperatures are supposed to drop in Spain in comparison with the week before, and we won’t see the sweltering highs of over 40ºC that we saw at the weekend, it was still a very hot Monday on May 23. In fact, Archena in Murcia was the 8th hottest place in the whole country and Molina de Segura was 10th.

According to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), the temperature at the hottest part of the day in Archena, 4.50pm, reached 34.7ºC, while in Molina de Segura it was 34.5ºC at 5.30pm.

The hottest place was in Malaga, in the town of Vélez-Málaga, where thermometers recorded a maximum of 38.5ºC, and the towns of Elche and Orihuela in Alicante province also came in the top 10.

The weather is due to cool down very slightly in the next couple of days before getting hotter again next weekend.
