SOCIETY The average temperature of the Peninsula has been rising more than the global average. Since 1850, it has increased by 1.7 degrees compared to the global average of 1.3 degrees. One of the areas that is warming the most is the Pyrenees. Between 1959 and 2024, a rise of 1.9 degrees was recorded. A study led by the Servei Meteorológico de Cataluña (Meteocat) confirms that the increase in the air temperature of the Pyrenees has caused the loss of three days of frost and an increase of 4.9 summer days per decade. This means that the mountain range currently records about 20 fewer days of frost and 32 more summer days, considered those with maximum temperatures above 25 degrees, compared to 1959.
