I don't see the second, it was probably missed inbetween obs.

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's North African enclave of Melilla was hit by
freak heatwaves on Monday which sent temperatures shooting up as much by
as 30 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter of minutes.

Spain's Meteorological Institute said it registered two heat surges
during the morning, the first sending thermometers soaring to a
sweltering 105-F from a warm 75-F before falling away again within 15
minutes.

An hour later, the second burst of heat pushed temperatures up by 59-F
before again cooling down a few minutes later.
