No Rain in Spain?

Spain is experiencing what might be its hottest April on record. Temperatures are currently some 7 to 11 degrees Centigrade above their average for the time of the year. The temperature might even reach a record high of 39 degrees in some southerly locations (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/27/spain-braced-for-record-april-temperature-of-39c-as-heatwave-causes-misery). These high Spring temperatures are due to hot air, from Africa, spilling over into southern Europe (parts of France are also hot). Rainfall is also well down, being only some 25% of the normal figure. In deed, this might prove to be the driest April on record for Spain. Spain is experiencing a prolonged drought, which will damage agriculture. The high ambient temperatures are also challenging for humans. Public swimming pools, in Spain, have been opened a month earlier than normal. The Spanish government is also advising people to be careful about hydration. Hydration is especially crucial in babies, children and older people. Perhaps particular attention should be directed to older tourists (mad dogs and Englishmen)? The folk who dress up in heavy costumes (of 'Sonic' the hedgehog etc), to earn their money, posing for visitors in Madrid and elsewhere, are really suffering (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/30/the-suit-burns-madrids-street-performers-suffer-in-record-spanish-heat). Things will only get worse in the Summer.
