The regional health service in Valencia has issued a warning ahead of the forecast of high temperatures and scant rainfall in the region this summer.

Weather forecasters say that August will be hotter this year than last, and average temperatures will be two degrees higher than normal at around 30 degrees daily along the coast during July, and with a couple of temperature spikes of some four degrees more than that in August.

Summer storms, which used to affect the region once or twice a week, are expected to be scarce this year.

The health authorities say that care must be taken to protect those at greatest risk from the heat, children, pensioners and the ill. The advice is to drink a lot of liquids, avoid large meals, and use light and lightly-coloured clothing.
