The June temperature record for the last 20 years was broken as the air temperature reached 44 degrees in Spain.
The heat wave, which has been affecting the country for a week and is expected to continue until the end of the week, has affected the whole of Spain except Asturias in the north and the Canary Islands in the southwest.
In the two important cities of the Andalusia region in the south, Seville and Cordoba, the temperature reached 44 degrees Celsius, while in cities such as Madrid, Toledo and Zaragoza it reached 40 degrees Celsius.
In the 11 autonomous governments of Spain, local governments are on orange alert, which is of secondary importance due to the temperatures, while officials advise not to go out in the sun during the hottest hours of the day, to consume plenty of water, to use hats and protectors.
In addition, it is reminded that more than 3,500 hectares of forested areas burned in Malaga last week, and warnings are being issued against the risk of forest fires.
Meteorologists say it has been the hottest June in 20 years and temperatures are not expected to drop before Saturday.
