Summary
[edit]DescriptionScorching heatwave hits Spain.jpg |
English: A severe heatwave is ongoing in Europe. Temperature records broken in France, Switzerland, Germany and Spain. On 11 July 2023, the Land Surface Temperature (LST) in some areas of Extremadura (Spain) exceeded 60°C, as highlighted in this data visualisation derived from measurements from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) instrument. The ongoing heatwave in Spain this week is resulting in a total of 13 autonomous communities, being at extreme risk (red alert), significant risk (orange alert), and risk (yellow alert) due to maximum temperatures that, in some cases, will exceed 40°C and reach a maximum of 43°C. The Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) instrument, which is a feature of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, enables precise global land surface temperature monitoring. NB: The high air temperatures are reflected in land surface temperature values. The LST is the temperature of the soil and should not be confused with air temperature. |
