40°C Heatwave Forces Seville Schools to Dismiss Early

Seville Sizzles: Schools Dismiss Early Amid 40°C Heatwave Seville, Spain, is grappling with a scorching heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 40°C on May 29, 2025. This extreme heat has prompted authorities to take action to protect residents, particularly children and outdoor workers. Andalusian schools will now allow students to leave classes early at 12 pm on days when an orange or red heat alert is issued. This decision comes as a direct response to the dangerously high temperatures. "With temperatures this high, any exertion is exhausting, even just walking," said Rocío Martínez, a reporter on the scene for Informativos Telecinco. The municipal cleaning service is also implementing precautionary measures. Street cleaning work will be suspended during the hottest hours to ensure the safety of workers. The heatwave highlights the challenges of extreme weather events and the importance of proactive measures to protect vulnerable populations. While the intense heat presents difficulties, the evening brings some relief, as shown in the video, with the streets filling up with people enjoying the cooler temperatures.
