Some countries have issued heat alerts or declared a state of emergency. World Meteorological Organization spokeswoman Clare Nullis said on Tuesday that a new heatwave was building up in western Europe, currently affecting mainly Spain and Portugal, which was forecast to intensify and spread. Spain was currently seeing temperatures well into 40 degrees Celsius, while the United Kingdom (UK) had issued an amber warning for extreme heat, according to Nullis.
