Holidaymakers heading to Spain warned of overheating as new laws come into place

Spain has issued new rules around using air conditioning which means Brits visiting the country could end up sweltering.

Spanish shops, offices and hospitality venues will no longer be able to set their cooling systems below 27C in the summer. In winter, they will not be able to raise heating above 19C.

The new rules are part of a set of energy-saving measures. But the changes come as an orange alert has been raised in nine of Spain's provinces for "intense heat" which is expected to last through to the middle of the week, reports Birmingham Live.
