Heat warnings in Spain have been raised with an orange alert in effect in nine provinces. Maximum temperatures could exceed 40 degrees and reach a blistering 42C in Campiña Sur.
Much of eastern Spain is under an orange heat warning. Cáceres and Badajoz, the provinces which form Extremadura, are joined by Salamanca, Ávila, Toledo, Seville, Córdoba, Jaén and Ourense in putting out the weather warnings, the Express reported.
The weather may not relent for many residents and tourists. Temperatures are not expected to dip below 39C in Extremadura throughout Monday. Salamanca and Ávila will see 40C, according to forecasting, as will Ourense, in Galicia.
