The blazing sun inland in Tarragona
Temperatures on the brink of danger
The municipalities inland from Tarragona will experience a Sunday with more than 30 °C, a value quite unusual for this time of year. This rise affects daily life and health, especially among vulnerable groups.
Most affected inland areas
Areas like Priorat, the Conca de Barberà, and Alt Camp will be the hardest hit by the heat, with a feeling of hot weather throughout the day.
Ponent, the hottest spot in the province
Temperatures near 35 °C
In points of Ponent, the thermometer will reach highs close to 35 °C. These temperatures are far from trivial: they can cause discomfort and health problems if precautions are not taken.
Impact on population and activities
The sharp rise in temperature forces adaptations to activities, especially outdoors. Air conditioning and hydration become essential, especially for workers and the elderly.
