Rubén del Campo

Rubén del Campo is a spokesperson for the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET), Spain's state meteorological agency. He is newsworthy due to his frequent appearances in news articles providing weather forecasts and updates, particularly concerning significant weather events and seasonal changes. Recently, he has been providing information about the weather during Semana Santa (Holy Week), including predictions of temperature fluctuations, rainfall, and wind conditions across the Iberian Peninsula. He also commented on the record-breaking number of named storms this winter, forcing AEMET to use a secondary naming list. Furthermore, the broader context of his role is highlighted by a recent warning from Spain's environment minister about an alarming rise in hate speech directed towards meteorologists and climate science communicators, underscoring the increasing pressure and scrutiny faced by figures like del Campo in the current climate crisis.
