Top tips for driving in Spain during a heatwave
Here’s how to keep cool in the car when the temperature cranks up...
DGT advice for driving during a heatwave
- Prepare your car: high temperatures make any maintenance problems all the more evident. It’s a good idea to check your vehicle before a trip, particularly the water tank.
- Avoid driving during the hottest hours: normally, the highest temperatures are reached between 1pm and 5pm.
- Rest: for every two hours of driving or every 200 kilometres, the DGT recommends that motorists take a short break. If you feel any slight sign of fatigue behind the wheel, you should stop to rest. Park in shady areas and if you have to stop in the sun, do not let people or animals stay inside the vehicle.
- Beware of glare: avoid annoying reflections from the sun by always wearing suitable sunglasses.
- Smart air-con: if you turn on the air conditioning, roll down the windows for the first few seconds to expel the hot air.
- Eat in moderation: choose several smaller meals or snacks during a long trip rather than a heavy one, and avoid alcohol. It’s better to eat light food rich in protein, vitamins and minerals and avoid fats and stodgy carbohydrates. And of course, drink plenty of water.
- Wear comfortable and loose clothing: it is also important to be comfortable while driving. Use footwear that properly supports the foot and doesn’t slip if you’re sweaty.
- Temperatures: closely monitor the temperature of the vehicle's engine.
