This heatwave will be Spain's third of the year so far with BirminghamLive reporting that people have already been suffering with the intense heat in some part of the country.

Moreover, many beachgoers have been getting into trouble with powerful currents due to strong winds that have accompanied the intense heat.

This week, one man died and five others were saved from a popular beach in Tenerife when they all got into trouble due to the currents. The man who died on Friday was aged 29 but his nationality was not released.

He was pulled from the sea with signs of drowning in the resort of Callao Salvaje in the south of the island. Five other people were also rescued.

One of them, a 28-year-old man, had a mild anxiety crisis while the other four people did not require health care. Emergency services received several calls just before 1pm warning of the presence of five or six people in distress at sea.

A helicopter hoisted the two men but the 29-year-old was in cardiorespiratory arrest and could not be revived.
