An Australian tourist described the sweltering heatwave in Spain.

Footage shows traveller Josh strolling through Seville under the scorching sun on Saturday, June 28.

He wore a cap and a sleeveless muscle tee, showcasing the clear sky and sunset over the city, while holding an empty bottle of water in his left hand.

Josh said: 'It's already 9 pm and it's still 38 degrees. But we're in the City of Seville. This is ridiculous. Anyway, it's cool.'

A prolonged heatwave continues to impact much of Europe, prompting health alerts across several countries as temperatures soar.

Officials have identified southern Spain as one of the hardest-hit areas, with temperatures reaching the mid-40s Celsius in Seville and nearby provinces.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change notes that heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent and intense due to human-driven climate change.
