Summer heatwave in Spain

Six regions in Spain are in red alert due to the extreme heat as the temperature in many places exceded 40ºC yesterday.

The current heatwave, which will make the effects of the drought in Spain even worse than they already are, has been caused by the arrival of air currents from Africa which have caused a rise in temperature throughout the Pensinsula, even northern regions such as Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria, according to Civil Protection.

The weather forecast is for the high temperatures to continue until the end of the week and the worst affected areas are in central and south-east Spain where temperatures will remain over 40 degrees until the weekend.

Civil Protection yesterday issued a statement advising people in Spain to try and stay in shaded, ventilated places, to drink plenty of water and eat fresh food and to wear light clothing and hats to protect themselves from the sun.

The Noticias CNN+ warned us to take plenty of liquids against the heat wave and thoughtfully illustrated this recommendation with a clip of some people downing a few beers.
Works for me!

What is the likelihood of extreme temperatures this week i.e. 20 -27 July??
We have a chance of booking a cheap flight but are having second thoughts about it now.
Thanks, Jenna

This week temperatures are fine - on the Mediterranean coast highs are around 34º and there's a nice sea breeze.
