we will focus on the uk in minutes but we have had the heatwave in spain causing a of distress. that s riuht. spain causing a of distress. that s right. unseasonably spain causing a of distress. that s right. unseasonably hot spain causing a of distress. that s right. unseasonably hot not - spain causing a of distress. that s right. unseasonably hot notjust l spain causing a of distress. that s| right. unseasonably hot notjust in spain but also in portugal and morocco. all three countries broke records yesterday. the all time april heat record. in spain we got up april heat record. in spain we got up to 38.8 celsius yesterday. that is about 15 degrees above where we would expect temperatures to be at this time of year and of course there is an ongoing drought across parts of spain, as well, so very dry and hot conditions. could be even hotter than that today, potentially 39 degrees, potentially somewhere further east as we see slightly cooler air starting to working from the west.
have beaten the record today as far as the temperature goes for april. the spanish met service reports 38.8 celsius because the heat has been coming in from africa. our current of air is actually coming out of the azores. it s a fairly warm direction but nowhere near as hot. how about the bank holiday weekend? expecting scattered showers, some heavy, sunny spells often with showers but it is going to stay this programme continues on bbc one. is extended for another 72 hours. the race to get out of sudan continues.
happening every year to something here, happening every, say, 10,000 years. now, we ve got some lines on here that we re interested in looking at. so tell me more about what this shows and essentially the result of your study. the stars that you see on the plots are the maximum temperatures observed every year at the station, at this particular weather station. so, the red line here represents the distribution for the world we live in, which is the current climate. and then what we did is we essentially shifted this distribution to represent a world without climate change, and that would be about 1.2 degrees celsius cooler. and that is what is shown by this blue line. now, the magenta line was the temperature that we saw this year at the weather station, and that was about 38.8 degrees celsius. what we should be looking at is the point where the magenta line intersects with either of these lines. for the red line, which is the current world, we see that this point intersects somewhere

you ve got the temperature and then along the bottom you ve got years. so it s basically the chance of something happening every certain number of years from, well, down here, it would be happening every year to something here, happening every, say, 10,000 years. now, we ve got some lines on here that we re interested in looking at. so tell me more about what this shows and essentially the result of your study. the stars that you see on the plots are the maximum temperatures observed every year at the station, at this particular weather station. so, the red line here represents the distribution for the world we live in, which is the current climate. and then what we did is we essentially shifted this distribution to represent a world without climate change, and that would be about 1.2 degrees celsius cooler. and that is what is shown by this blue line. now, the magenta line was the temperature that we saw this year at the weather station, and that was about 38.8 degrees celsius. what w
