Get ready for some scorching temperatures this week as a massive heatwave is about to sweep through Europe. If you're one of the lucky British families heading to hotspots like Spain, Portugal, or Morocco, make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and stay hydrated. The heat is expected to reach a sweltering 46C in some areas, so be prepared.
According to the Met Office, the peak of this summer heatwave will hit on Wednesday. Madrid is expected to reach a high of 39C, while Seville will be sizzling at 43C and Lisbon at 37C. But, things are about to get even hotter in Marrakesh, with temperatures soaring up to a scalding 46C. And it's not just Europe feeling the heat; other cities like Baghdad, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi are also expected to reach at least 40C tomorrow.
Marco Petagna, a senior operational meteorologist at the Met Office, is urging anyone traveling to the south-west of Europe to take extra precautions. The extreme heat can be dangerous, so it's important to take care of yourself and others during this time.
