  • Electoral program of the PP | electoral program of the PSOE | Sumar electoral program | Vox electoral program

This July 23, 2023 we will vote between high temperatures in most of Spain. According to Aemet, the heat will be felt in a large part of the country.

By region, the highest are expected in Córdoba, Granada, Madrid, Seville, the Balearic Islands, Navarra, Lleida, Jaén and Cuenca. These provinces will reach temperatures of more than 30°C.

Best times to go to vote

We will find the coolest or least hot temperatures at the beginning of the day. Until 12:00 hours, the mercury is expected to be between 16°C and 20°C in the Cantabrian and northern plateau; between 15°C and 30°C in the rest of the interior, as well as between 22°C and 32°C on the shores of the Mediterranean, according to the Aemet forecast.

The worst section to go to vote, if we do not want to find ourselves in too much heat, is the one that goes from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., which is when the maximum temperatures are recorded. That is to say, that in some areas of the country such as Andalusia, Aragon and Navarra the thermometer will touch 40°C.

After 8:00 p.m., temperatures will begin to drop in the Cantabrian and northern plateau. While in the rest of the country the heat will accompany the rest of the day.

Tips for high temperatures

The high temperatures that are experienced in the country become a risk for some people, such as those with a disability or chronic illnesses, those who perform intense physical work, as well as those who regularly take medication..

Cramps, exhaustion, dehydration and heat strokes are some of the effects produced by the increase in high temperatures.

Avoid leaving home during the hottest hours of the day, drink more fluids without waiting to feel thirsty, reduce physical activity, wear light clothing and stay in ventilated or conditioned spaces are some of the recommendations given by health workers to protect yourself from heat.
