*European overview*
22nd OCTOBER 2014
Max °C Min °C Rain (mm)
36.4 17.9 - Malaga/Aeropuerto(16m)

After the previous day's records in eastern Spain, it was the turn of Malaga on the south coast
to register a new all-time max for October, beating a record that had stood since 1952.

As in the case of Valencia on 21st, the cause was a hot African air mass combined with winds
from the inland mountains descending to sea-level.
