A thirty-four year old man has tragically died from heatstroke in Sóller, Mallorca. The incident occurred on Thursday at Camí de Son Sales, with emergency services alerted around two fifty PM. Despite the rapid response of two ambulances, a team from the Bomberos de Mallorca, and a logistical support vehicle from SAMU O sixty one, the Dutch national was found unconscious and could not be revived.

This incident adds to a concerning trend as another man died from heatstroke last Friday in Fraga. The victim, a seasonal worker of Pakistani origin, was also affected by extreme temperatures. The Guardia Civil is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding both fatalities.

With a heatwave forecasted to begin this Saturday, experts stress the importance of recognising the symptoms of heatstroke. Common symptoms include headaches, rapid pulse, and excessive sweating. Immediate action is advised, including seeking shade and staying hydrated with water or isotonic drinks.

The Agencia Estatal de Meteorología has issued a warning for the upcoming heatwave that is expected to persist for at least three days, affecting much of the Spanish peninsula, excluding the northwest and Cantabrian area. Residents are urged to take precautions to avoid further incidents related to extreme heat.
