Weather warnings have been issued for more than half of Spain as the country continues to battle with extreme heat.
For Brits travelling to Spain, they are being warned of the high temperatures and are reminded of the guidance. It is advised to take care when driving through woodland, stay inside during the hottest times of the day and keep hydrated.
Temperatures are expected to rise above 42C in Campiña Sur, in the Córdoba province with temperatures reaching between 40C and 41C for Seville, Salamanca, Ávila, Ourense and Galicia, according to Spain's state meteorological agency.

There has also been an orange warning issued for Cáceres and Badajoz, the provinces which form Extremadura, alongside Salamanca, Ávila, Toledo, Seville, Córdoba, Jaén and Ourense after temperatures failed to drop below 39C on Monday.
A yellow warning has also been put in place for Andalusia, Madrid, the Basque Country, Aragon, Catilla y Leon, Catalonia, Navarre and La Rioja, the Express reports. Elsewhere in Spain, while several regions are scorching, thunderstorms are expected to hit Catalonia and Valencia.
Forecasters expect the extremely high temperatures to ravage Spain over the next few days before slowly cooling off towards the end of the week.
This comes as Spain has been battling wildfires over the last month as extreme heat sparked flames across the country with thousands forced to evacuate their homes.
The Foreign Travel Advice adds: "There is currently a heightened risk of forest fires due to exceptionally high temperatures in Spain. Take care when visiting or driving through woodland areas. Access to some areas such as natural parks and nature reserves may be limited or closed as a result."
A spokesperson for Spain's state meteorological service said they were not dismissing the idea that rising temperatures could indicate a heatwave in the country.
They added: "It cannot be ruled out that it will end up being classified as a heatwave, especially in the southwest of the Peninsula, although it will not be as extraordinary as that of mid-July."
It comes shortly after Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez advised workers to not wear ties to help save energy in the intense heat. During a news conference, Mr Sanchez said workers will be less dependent on expensive air conditioning if they don't wear ties, stating it "means that we can all save energy".
