Will 2024 Break Spain's Hottest Year Ever Record?🔥
Spain is grappling with increasingly scorching summers. The nation is no stranger to heat, but the intensity and frequency of recent heatwaves are alarming. Could 2024 be the hottest year on record?
To grasp the severity of the situation, consider these record-breaking temperatures🥵:
Córdoba, Seville, and Jerez - notorious for their sizzling summers - have recorded temperatures exceeding 47°C (116.6°F).The national record stands at 47.6°C (117.7°F), a staggering figure that underscores the extreme heat Spain can endure.
These are not isolated incidents; they are part of a worrying trend. Heatwaves, once considered anomalies, are becoming the norm, with profound implications for the country. Extreme high temperatures affect agriculture, livestock and people. In agriculture, plants and crops often suffer greatly and need extra irrigation while water levels in rivers drop as evaporation rates in Spain dramatically increase during the summer months.
This heightened evaporation contributes to water scarcity issues, particularly in southern regions. In addition, and sadly some elderly people or people with vulnerable health conditions succumb to heat strokes in the hellish summer months. As a result, lately regional Spanish authorities publish and notify residents on road signs and by sms when it is recommended to NOT be outdoors at certain times of the day.
Do you live in a city or country with extremely hot summers? If so, which one and share the highest temperature you experienced.

Tomatina: Spain's Reddest and Juiciest Party🍅🍅🍅
Who needs a water balloon fight when you can have a tomato fight? That's the motto of thousands of people who descend on the Spanish town of Buñol every year for La Tomatina. This isn't just any food fight; it's the biggest food fight in the world.
La Tomatina takes place on the last Wednesday of August and lasts for a glorious hour. But where did this crazy idea come from? Legend has it, a spontaneous tomato fight broke out during a town parade back in the 1940s. And the rest, as they say, is history. What started as a local scuffle has turned into a global phenomenon, attracting tourists from every corner of the planet.
The festival has been critisized and many wonder "Isn’t this a huge waste of food?" Well, the tomatoes used in La Tomatina are actually surplus produce that would otherwise be thrown away in landfills. So, not only is it a riot of fun, but it’s also a pretty eco-friendly event.
Locals and foreigners alike join in the tomato-flinging frenzy. It’s a great way to bond with the community and make some seriously messy memories. So, if you're looking for an unforgettable experience, grab your swim trunks (or at least some old clothes) and head to Buñol for the ultimate tomato-soaked adventure.
This year's La Tomatina 2024 is on Wednesday, August 28th
Just remember: Don’t wear your favorite white outfit.😀

Barcelona Locals Are So Over Tourists, They're Fighting Back With Water Pistols💧🔫
You wouldn't believe what's going down in Barcelona. People are fed up with all the tourists and they're taking matters into their own hands – with water pistols!
Imagine walking down the street in one of the city's most popular spots and suddenly, mist mist, splash splash! You're getting soaked by angry Barcelonians, if the word exists! Sounds crazy, right? But it's happening. People are sick of the crowds, the rising prices, and their city turning into one big Disneyland.
Question is, where's the line between making money and ruining your own backyard? Barcelona's trying to figure that out, but it's a tough one. Other places like Mallorca and Malaga are dealing with the same tourist takeover.
So, what's the answer? Well, that's the million-dollar question. Can cities have their cake and eat it too? Enjoy the tourist money without losing their soul?
Do you live in a big city which has been taken over by mass tourism? What are your thoughts?

The Bank of Spain estimates that the Spanish public debt will be over 100% of GDP in 2025. The financial entity has published a report in which it indicates that the increase in interest rates would increase the financial burden of the public debt, which could make it difficult to meet deficit reduction objectives.
According to the report, Spanish public debt stood at 111.6% of GDP in December 2022. The Bank of Spain estimates that public debt will be reduced to 108.2% of GDP in 2023 and 107.6% of GDP in 2024. However, the financial institution warns that the increase in interest rates could increase the financial burden of public debt, which could make it difficult to meet the deficit reduction objectives.
The report points out that increasing interest rates would raise the cost of repaying public debt. This is because the Spanish Government has a large amount of long-term public debt, which is indexed to interest rates.
Rising interest rates could also reduce demand for Spanish public debt. This is because investors will look for more profitable investment opportunities in other countries.
The Bank of Spain recommends that the Spanish Government adopt measures to reduce the public deficit and increase the competitiveness of the Spanish economy. These measures would help reduce the financial burden of public debt and improve the sustainability of public finances.

Spain Suspends Worldcoin Operations
Spanish authorities have decided to temporarily halt Worldcoin's data collection through the "Orbs" eye-scanning sphere due to privacy risks associated with citizens' personal information.
According to the Financial Times, Spain’s data protection authority, AEPD, has requested Worldcoin – a project involving “eye scan” identification founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman – to immediately halt all data collection activities in the country through its “Orbs” spheres, and cease the use of data they had previously collected.
AEPD expressed concerns about the risks posed to users by Worldcoin’s “eye scan” technology, especially for minors. The regulatory body plans to announce “preventive measures” and give the project 72 hours to comply with the request.
Worldcoin (WLD) is a cryptocurrency project launched in 2021 by Sam Altman – who also holds the position of CEO at OpenAI, the company behind AI tool ChatGPT.
