Spain Braces for Record-Breaking Heat Wave in April.

Spain is experiencing an "exceptionally high" heatwave with temperatures 15 to 20 degrees Celsius above normal for this time of year, with some places expected to hit 40 degrees Celsius. The heatwave is exacerbating the country's prolonged drought, with reservoirs at only about half of their capacity and farmers struggling to cope. The high temperatures also increase the risk of wildfires, with some already reported in March. Schools are concerned about protecting students and staff from overheated classrooms that don't have air conditioning. The extreme heat is expected to continue into the weekend.
