Spain is preparing for its third heatwave of the summer as 18 provinces are put on alert for high temperatures by the country’s meteorological agency.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any hotter in Spain, the country is to experience its third heatwave, expected to last from Monday until Thursday.
Alerts for high temperatures have been raised across 18 Spanish provinces, including Cádiz, Seville, Madrid and Mallorca.
