Weather map pictures show amber and yellow heat alerts cover the majority of the European country including popular holiday destinations such as Mallorca, Ibiza, Madrid, Barcelona, Toledo and more. A heatwave warning remains in place in Spain since being enforced on August 3, and is confirmed to last until Monday, August 19, affecting the entire peninsula, apart from the Cantabrian area. The warning reads: "Saturday and Sunday will be the warmest days, with maximum temperatures generally exceeding 36-39°C across the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, except for the Cantabrian region, and 40-42°C in large areas of the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula and in the Ebro and Duero depressions. "Temperatures of 44°C are not ruled out in the Guadiana, Guadalquivir, and Segura valleys. "Minimum temperatures will remain very high across much of the country, especially over the weekend, with temperatures expected to remain below 22-25C in parts of the southern half of the peninsula, along the Mediterranean coast, in the Ebro Valley, and in the northeast." Due to the elevated temperatures, the risk of wildfire is also higher. AEMET issued a wildfire risk map every day which can be found on their website and ranks the risk from low to extreme. This week the Canary Islands was also given a rare red warning amid temperatures of 40C. The warnings in holiday hotspots such as Lanzarote, the south of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and part of Tenerife were in place until today.

Brits travelling to Spain urged to take 'extreme precautions' on holiday
Spain has been hit by a heatwave with the mercury hitting 32C in Seville this week and highs of 35C in Madrid and 31C in Barcelona. The UK has also been issued a yellow heat health warning Holidaymakers heading to Spain have been urged to take "extreme precautions" as the country swelters under blistering heat that will leave Brits reeling. Temperatures have soared to 32C in Seville this week, with Madrid hitting highs of 35C and Barcelona reaching 31C. Summer in Spain always sounds like a great idea, but with the temperatures reaching the 35C mark, holidaymakers wishing to spend a couple of days in the hot peninsula might want to be careful. Spain's State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), equivalent to Britain's Met Office, warned: "The danger of wildfires continues at very high or extreme levels in most of Spain, despite the likelihood of showers in many areas. We are at the most critical moment of the season. Take extreme precautions." In other travel news, it comes after a warning to Brit tourists planning all-inclusive holidays to Spain. READ MORE: Beautiful seaside town in Devon that's so pretty it 'could be from a postcard' The country has issued a rare "red" emergency alert with the "maximum" threat facing UK tourists, reports Birmingham Live. AEMET posted on X: "11/08 11:36 Active warnings today and tomorrow in Spain for maximum temperatures, storms, rain, and suspended dust. Maximum warning level: red. This, combined with the high level of sunshine typical of summer, is causing temperatures to be higher than usual for this time of year, resulting in a heat wave." "[Today, Monday] temperatures are expected to rise further in the Ebro basin, the southern and eastern thirds of the Iberian Peninsula, and the eastern Cantabrian Sea. Temperatures will begin to fall in the northwest, most noticeably in Galicia." It continued: "Temperatures will therefore continue to reach 37-39C across the interior of the Iberian Peninsula, also extending to the Júcar and Segura regions and the interior of the Basque Country, where temperatures could even exceed 40C locally." "In the lower Guadalquivir, highs could reach over 42C, and although with low probability, this threshold could also be exceeded in the Ebro Valley and the northeastern depressions, where this day is expected to be the hottest of the episode." Meanwhile, a yellow heat health warning has been issued for the UK as most areas have seen the mercury soar past 30C. This is the fourth summer heatwave, with England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all experiencing blistering temperatures. A number of water companies were compelled to impose hosepipe bans for activities such as watering gardens, washing cars and filling paddling pools.
