Irish holidaymakers have been urged to check the weather forecast in the region they wish to travel to after a number of countries in Europe experienced unusual weather events.
The news comes as Spain recorded its hottest May in history on Friday as temperatures reached over 40 degrees.
The regions the worst affected by the scorching heat are Andalusia in the south, Extremadura in the south-east, Madrid and Castilla La Mancha in the centre and Aragon in the north-east.
