Temperatures could exceed 38C in southern Spain today as an influx of heat from Africa brings summer early.

The previous highest figure for April in Spain was 37.4C recorded in Murcia in 2011.

"Europe is warming at twice the global rate and we know because there is a higher rate of warming, there's a higher probability of extreme events. And those extreme events include heat waves."Many farmers are experiencing difficulties due to the ongoing lack of rain, with the government in Madrid asking the European Union for financial help.

Eight countries in central and eastern Europe set new all time highs for the warmest January weather on the very first day of this year. Another factor likely to influence weather across the world over the coming months is the likely onset of an El Niño event.
