Although the beginning of spring is only a week away in Europe, millions of people in Spain are already sweating at temperatures of up to 31 degrees. Tens of thousands flocked to the Mediterranean beaches to cool off over the weekend, and in some places it was difficult to spread out the towel. The first tropical night of the year took place in Mallorca: From Saturday to Sunday, the minimum temperatures in areas of the popular holiday island – such as in Palma – were over 20 degrees.
Two weeks ago, Mallorca was still struggling with snow chaos. “Early summer in late winter!” was the headline in “Mallorca Magazin”. At these temperatures, it is already difficult to fall asleep, experts from the Mallorcan newspaper “Última Hora” said. “Why is it so warm now?” Many users on the Internet are already complaining.
