SEVILLA’S famous Feria de Abril is set to be a scorcher this year as the arrival of a high pressure ridge sends temperatures skyrocketing.
The traditional party kicks off next Monday and festivalgoers flocking to the city should plan to pack plenty of sun cream with the mercury forecast to rise to a sizzling 34C.
The first day of the festival – set for two weeks after the conclusion of Semana Santa, as per tradition – is set to be the hottest of all, thanks to the arrival of a warm front which meteorologists believe will push temperatures up across Spain over the coming days.
That will gradually subside as the week goes on, although the heat is forecast to remain at around 27C.
The weather is expected to remain stable, with the possibility of some isolated thunderstorms as the week wears on.
The Feria de Abril officially begins at midnight on Monday, April 21, and runs for six days until the following Sunday.
The week-long festival in the capital of Andalucia is part of a tradition that dates back to 1846.
