The Town Hall of Alicante reported that one hundred and fifty-nine individuals were supported at the Centre for Social Care and Emergency (Centro de Acogida y Urgencias Sociales) over the weekend, as part of a response to the ongoing extreme heat conditions. The emergency alert was activated after the forecast indicated maximum temperatures of thirty-seven degrees Celsius and minimums of twenty-seven. The Mayor, Luis Barcala, emphasised that all extraordinary measures remain in effect, urging residents to particularly care for vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly and children.

As a preventive measure, local authorities have prohibited fireworks and pyrotechnic displays in rural areas, due to an extreme risk of forest fires. They also advised against agricultural burning and the use of tools that could ignite vegetation. The Centre for Social Care and Emergency is open from eleven in the morning until eight in the evening, offering shelter, food, water, and personal hygiene kits.

During the weekend, seventy-eight people utilised this service on Saturday, while eighty-one attended on Sunday. The local police are collaborating closely with social services to inform beachgoers about the importance of protecting themselves from the sun, staying hydrated, and avoiding strenuous activity during peak hours.

The authorities recommend that everyone take precautions to safeguard their health during these extreme temperatures. This includes drinking plenty of water, wearing light clothing, and keeping windows closed when outside temperatures rise. The police, fire services, and civil protection are all on high alert, ready to act in response to this severe heatwave.
