A record-breaking summer of temperatures has led to increased levels of harmful ozone in Spain's air, with 33 areas failing to meet legal objectives. The 'four-month' summer, marked by intense solar radiation and high temperatures, has resulted in the highest ozone levels since 2010. Madrid and Catalonia are among the most affected regions, with Madrid breaking its historical record and Catalonia registering 124 exceedances. The climate crisis and human activities are identified as key factors contributing to this issue, which is responsible for around 10,000 deaths in Spain annually.
