On Thursday, temperatures could soar as high as 40 degrees in some of Spain’s popular southern regions.
Aemet spokesperson Rubén Del Campo said temperature will be around five to 10 degrees higher than normal in the whole country.
In the centre of the peninsula, temperatures are likely to be around 10 to 15 degrees higher than normal at this time of year.
The weather event may not be classed as a heat wave as it has to last for at least three days to do so.

Dr Ian Cole, GP at King Edward VII’s Hospital said: “If you’re worried about your wellbeing during a heatwave there are a number of things you can do to keep cool.
“Stay out of the sun for the hottest parts of the day, preferably in a cool or air-conditioned place.
“If it’s hot outside, keep the windows closed and pull down shades or close the curtains when indoors.”
