The sun isn't the only thing heating up Ibiza this week. As temperatures soared close to 40 degrees, tourists enjoying the island's renowned beaches in Sant Joan felt the intense heat, while Sant Antoni sizzled at 36 degrees. Ibiza Town experienced temperatures peaking at 33 degrees, and the airport recorded 32 degrees. Over on Formentera, visitors basked in a high of 34 degrees.
With the heatwave set to continue on Monday, the Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued a yellow alert, warning that the mercury could reach up to 36 degrees between noon and 7 PM. The Balearic Emergency Services have echoed this alert, urging visitors and locals alike to take necessary precautions.
Guidelines include seeking shade, keeping heads covered, wearing light clothing, and staying hydrated. Visitors should also remember to use sunscreen, avoid physical exertion during peak hours—the middle of the day—and steer clear of alcohol and caffeine. Most importantly, never leave the young, elderly, or pets in parked vehicles.
