Once again, the alarms have blared across Ibiza this Saturday. Following a blaze earlier today in the city, firefighters are currently tackling another fire that's broken out in Cala de Bou. Onlookers have spotted the towering plume of smoke from Sant Antoni's promenade, by the famed Café del Mar. At present, the cause of these fires remains a mystery.
Ibiza is set to experience sizzling temperatures, with a yellow heat alert in effect from midday until nearly 8 PM. As beachgoers and party enthusiasts prepare for a warm day on the island, the Spanish meteorological agency Aemet forecasts temperatures ranging from a balmy 25°C to a sweltering 33°C. However, the afternoon heat index could hit a scorching 44°C in some areas, thanks to the searing afternoon sun. Expect mostly clear skies peppered with some mid and high-level clouds, along with the possibility of morning mist and suspended dust. Evenings will remain warm, especially by the coastal areas, with light breezes offering some relief. For those on Ibiza and Formentera, it's a classic summer day where sun protection is paramount to stay safe amidst the heat.
