While Moscow shivered in the snow and Gonzalo battered the UK,
Spain was experiencing an autumn heatwave.

At Valencia (airport), a new October max of 35.8C was recorded.




The climate in the SE of Spain is simply the best, in my view

35.8C at *any* time of year, never mind late October, doesn't exactly
fill my personal criteria for Best Climate!
