Temperatures in Spain and Portugal could exceed 48 degrees

— breaking all-time Europe record

Weather models are currently calculating extreme temperatures in the Iberian Peninsula.

The heat is expected to build up due to hot air coming up from North Africa — particularly over southwestern Europe.

It will be the hottest in the region for 41 years.

Spain’s current record high is 47.3°C and Portugal has previously seen highs of 47.4°C.
