Spain braces for heatwave of ‘extraordinary intensity’


Temperatures in parts of southern Spain are forecast to exceed 42C (107F) on Saturday as a heatwave of “extraordinary intensity” brings dusty skies, a heightened risk of forest fires and blistering conditions more usually seen in high summer than mid-May. 
 The Spanish government activated its national plan for excess temperatures on Thursday evening after the state meteorological agency, Aemet, warned that Spain was facing “one of the hottest Mays in this country in recent years”.
