"Scorching Spain: Third Heatwave of Summer Reaches Peak Temperatures"

Spain is experiencing its third heatwave of the summer, with temperatures reaching up to 44 degrees Celsius (111 degrees Fahrenheit) in central and southern areas. The Basque Country, less accustomed to such high temperatures, could see temperatures rise to 40 degrees Celsius. Dry storms, thunder and lightning without rainfall, are expected in many parts of the country, increasing the risk of wildfires. Southern European countries have been facing record-breaking temperatures this summer, prompting health warnings for vulnerable populations. The heatwaves have also worsened a prolonged drought, leading to water restrictions and the melting of glaciers in Spain's mountains.
