A WEEK of 'suffocating heat' has been forecast for the whole of Spain with temperatures in the shade reaching 41ºC.
The hottest parts of the country will be southern inland provinces including Sevilla, Jaén, Córdoba and the region of Extremadura, and the south and east coasts will see the mercury rocket to 36ºC in the shade.
Night-time minimum temperatures will be over 23ºC in most parts of the country, but will not reach 30ºC.
Cádiz, Granada and Huelva, also in Andalucía, will see temperatures of over 40ºC inland and 36ºC on the coast, and most of the Comunidad de Madrid – the greater capital region – is on 'orange alert' as the midday sun may cause thermometers to shoot up to 39ºC at least.
