Irish tourists travelling to Spain in the coming days have been hit with a major weather warning for high temperatures and storms.
The national forecaster AEMET has predicted a long heatwave which is expected to impact most of the country until at least early next week.
Irish tourists have even been warned that parts of Southern France would be scorched by highs of up to 40 degrees this week, temperatures which are well above normal for this time of year.
