Weather forecasts indicate that temperatures will begin rising on Monday, with the heat expected to peak on Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will be several degrees above the seasonal average, exceeding 35 degrees Celsius in many regions of France and Spain, while areas around Madrid could see temperatures reach 38 degrees.
Weekend rainfall was limited and did not reach the areas worst affected by the fires in southwestern France and central Spain. According to forecasts, no further rainfall is expected for at least the next five days.
Meanwhile, easing winds are a positive development for emergency crews. Winds are forecast to remain light at least until Tuesday, making it easier for firefighters to bring the blazes under control.
