Spain heatwave brings record May temperatures

Parts of Spain are experiencing their hottest May ever with temperatures of more than 40C in some places, according to the state weather agency, AEMET.

The agency issued heat warnings in 10 regions for Saturday, saying it could be "one of the most intense" heatwaves in years.

The city of Jaén in southern Spain recorded its highest ever May temperature of 40C on Friday.

Climate change is making heatwaves more frequent and more intense.

Spain's unseasonably warm spring weather is a result of hot air coming from North Africa, causing temperatures to rise by up to 15C above average for this time of year.
