Irish holidaymakers have been warned of the risks of "exceptionally high temperatures" at popular tourist destinations in the coming days.
The mercury is set to creep above 40C in a number of popular tourist destinations for Irish visitors including Italy, Spain and Greece.
On Thursday July 4, parts of Spain will reach over 40C, in particular around Seville, the area between the cities of Cordoba and Jaen, and also close to the border with Portugal.
The Department of Foreign affairs advises: "During the summer months, Spain can experience heatwaves with exceptionally high temperatures recorded in parts of the country. You can monitor information and alerts, including severe weather warnings, on the website of the Spanish Meteorological Agency, AEMET, and on its social media channels".
They also urge Irish tourists that high temperatures also increase the risk of forest fires.
"Irish citizens should avoid engaging in any action that may contribute to the risk of forest fires, and follow the advice of local authorities if they find themselves in affected areas," the Department of Foreign Affairs says.
