More info Spain's meteorological agency has issued a weather warning for high temperatures and potential thunderstorms, which could impact Irish tourists travelling to the popular holiday destination this week as the summer season kicks in. An orange warning, denoting 'important risk', has been issued by Agencia Estatal de Meteorología for Tuesday as temperatures soar throughout Spain. This is likely to be accompanied by heavy showers and thunderstorms in several areas of the country. The northeast of Spain could see temperatures reach highs of 40C, while many areas will be in the mid-30Cs. The orange weather warnings are in place for the regions of Aragon, Castilla y Lyon, Cataluna, Pais Vasco and La Rioja. A spokesperson for AEMET said: "Severe storms will occur across large areas of the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula, with heavy showers also likely in western Galicia, the Cantabrian region, the upper Ebro, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Pyrenees. Significantly high temperatures will occur in low-lying areas in the northeast and inland areas of the southern Iberian Peninsula."
