Brits heading to Spain warned of 'second summer' 40C spike

Spain is set for a "second summer" with a looming heatwave on the way. Set to reach a whopping 36C this week, people are being warned that with temperatures reaching nearly 40C, people need to take caution whether you are a local or tourist.

In a post by state meteorological agency, Aemet, they note in the last few months, temperatures have been on the rise and in July, water temperatures were between 5C and 6C higher than usual for this time of year, a record in the Balearic Sea.

In fact, according to the Olive Press, the surge in heat comes as a 'massive anticyclone brings sweltering heat across much of the country'. Temperatures in popular areas like Barcelona are set to hit 27C on Wednesday, reports BBC Weather .
