    Hi Tony,
    Here in Europe the news agency’s are running with record high January 25th temperatures in Spain exceeding 30deg Celsius. So many suggests reinforcing a narrative.
    Do you have access to verifiable temperature figures.
    Keep up the good work.

    Hi Michael – expat Brit in France here.
    A good website for global weather reports is https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/@2509334/historic
    I just had a quick scan of Spanish temperatures and I can’t see mainland Spain temps getting near to the 30C you mention.
    Are they using offshore islands Tenerife, Canaries, even Melilla a tiny Spanish enclave on the north african coast etc and conflating those with mainland Spain?
