More than 50 records broken

Gómez explained at a press conference that these high values occurred as the result of stability on the surface due to an anticyclone. This inhibits the formation of clouds and prevents the development of rain, which subsequently gives rise to high temperatures with clear skies. It also produces a high rate of solar radiation and a very high or extreme risk of fire in a large part of the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands she warned.

In Jerez de la Frontera, which has collected weather data since 1946, its old record was beaten by more than one degree. Records for very high minimum temperatures have also been smashed in places such as the airports of Zaragoza and Lugo.

As explained to Euro Weekly News in a statement from Andrew Hesselden, the Campaign Director and founder, the organisers of ‘180 Days in Spain’ are asking for some very simple requirements. Firstly, they want Brits who were living in Spain before Brexit ­ whether living in the country for all or part of the year ­ to receive equal treatment. Secondly, they are asking for the equal treatment of British visitors to Spain, in the same way that

Spanish visitors to the UK receive. There are lots of ways that politicians could achieve these outcomes said Mr Hesselden, who hopes that the conversations being generated by the campaign are proving beneficial to British and European citizens everywhere. The campaign already has over 6,000 members and continues to grow. Its Campaign Director collaborates and coordinates with other similar campaigns in France, Italy, Greece, Germany and Cyprus as well as running a similar Europewide campaign. Together these all account for a further 6,000 members.

“We already know that certain regions of Spain and France want to eliminate the 90­in­180­day problem that Brexit has exacerbated, Mr Hesselden ­ who has a home in Mallorca ­ explained.
