As Ibiza finds itself sweltering under an intense heatwave, UK tourists are being urged to take precautions. With temperatures in Sant Antoni de Portmany reaching a blistering 39.5°C on Wednesday, the heat is expected to persist, possibly intensifying to 41°C in some areas. The Balearic Islands' 112 emergency service has issued an orange alert, with the highest temperatures likely between midday and early evening. Nights will offer little relief, with coastal areas remaining above 25°C. Experts from AEMET attribute this scorching weather to a hot, dry air mass traveling from the west. As tourists flock to the isle's stunning beaches to cool off, authorities stress the importance of sun protection and hydration. While slightly cooler temperatures are anticipated by Friday, visitors should continue to be cautious, particularly during peak heat hours. The emphasis remains on seeking shade and staying hydrated to fully enjoy Ibiza’s sizzling summer experience.
