Parts of southern Portugal and Spain will be sweltering over the coming days.
Seville, a popular city-break destination, could reach 45C this weekend and early next week.
The capital of the Andalucía region will also see very high UV over the coming days.
The temperature in Albufeira and Faro in Portugal's popular Algarve is set to reach around 40C.
The Balearic Islands of Cabrera, Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca, and the tourist hotspots of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Tenerife in the Canary Islands are due to be low to mid-30s.
TV weatherman Sean Batty has taken to social media to warn families of the toasty conditions.
He wrote: "With schools starting to break for summer, you might be heading for Spain soon — and it's going to be a very hot few days ahead.
"Inland southern Spain & Portugal could hit 45°C, while popular Costa spots and the Balearics (Ibiza, Menorca, Majorca) will be in the mid-30s."
Those among us who are not so keen of high temperatures will be pleased to know it will be milder at home in the coming days.
A weather front has brought rain throughout today with muggy conditions, but over the weekend it will clear for most places.

Saturday is set to be bright with some light showers in southern Scotland to start the day.
But the rain will give way to warm and sunny conditions, reaching 19-20C in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Aberdeen and Dundee are forecast to be 21-22C, while Inverness will be a cooler 19C.
Sunday will also be dry with a bright start to the day, lighter winds and temperatures will linger between the high teens and low 20s in most places.
