Tourists and holidaymakers jetting off to Spain this week have been warned to prepare for "extreme" heat - with temperatures predicted to exceed 40'C in some parts of the country. The unexpected spell of hot weather comes after India and Pakistan have experienced exceptional weather conditions in recent weeks - with the temperature in some regions hitting an intense 50'C.
Although milder than the heatwave that's swept through Asia, people travelling to Spain and the Balearic Islands in the coming days should stock up on sun cream, stay hydrated and take shelter in the shade during their holidays.
Spain's meteorological agency, AEMET has urged people to "be prepared" for the "unusually" high temperatures and weather models suggest temperatures could reach a scorching 42'C in some parts of Southern Spain.
