Weather experts have issued a caution to holidaymakers about to head off to Spain. The popular destination is currently facing a heatwave which, by the end of this week, could see temperatures exceed even 40C.
The 'extreme heat' warning has come from the country’s meteorological agency AEMET, which has called the sweltering meteorological spike 'unusually high' for the month of May. A spokesperson said: "Very high temperatures will exceed 35C in many parts of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
"It may reach 40C to 42C in parts of the south and Ebro, with very warm nights. "It will be a truly unusual episode for the time," reports The Irish Mirror.
