SPAIN: More hot days, fewer cold nights

sunny-day Researchers at the University of Salamanca decided to consider the impact of climate change on mainland Spain they chose to look at it in a different way from many other scientists.

Instead of studying average temperatures, they looked for changes in the incidence of two climate extremes - warm days and cold nights.
After studying climate records from 1950 to 2006, they found that mainland Spain has had a greater increase in the number of warm days than the rest of the planet and a drop in the number of cold nights.
I must admit that this has been my experience since arriving 4 years ago. The days are sunny and warm to hot or the winter days are very cold. Last summer was not as hot as this and last winter was the coldest.
