Temperatures could rise up to 43°C in parts of Spain this month as an extreme weather warning is issued for the country.
The heatwave could affect Brits holidaying in the country, which is a popular destination for tourists from the North East.
According to the Aemet weather agency, the soaring temperatures are caused by a mass of hot air from North Africa sweeping over Spain. The hottest areas are expected to be in central and south-western Spain, and the heatwave is expected to last at least until Wednesday, The Manchester Evening News reports.
