Expert Picazo Warns Heatwave Demands Humidity Factor Be Taken Seriously

The first heatwave of the summer has hit Spain with force, bringing record temperatures for the month of June. Meteorologist Mario Picazo is urging the public not to rely solely on thermometer readings when assessing the risk.

He points out that relative humidity is a critical factor in determining the body's thermal sensation and should be combined with temperature data to understand the true feel of the heat. Picazo warns that the human body can reach its limits during such extreme conditions.
