Heatwaves are starting in Spain, Portugal and France, +45°C is during the rest of week expected
Promised heatwaves started in Spain and Portugal in big style, with maximum temperatures in southwest of Iberian peninsula up to +45°C during Thursday afternoon. Hot air had to cross Pyrenees during next days and heatwave hit southern France too, with possible temperatures +32/+40°C.
