Many areas of Western Europe have been sweltering under unseasonably hot temperatures over the past few days, compounding climate change fears.

In Zaragoza, forecast to sizzle under Spain's highest temperature of 42C on Saturday, people at a farmers market waved fans and newspapers, stood in the shade and kept hydrated. By 4 p.m. the temperature had reached 40.9C.

Almost 20,000 hectares of land had been burned in the Sierra de la Culebra mountain range and the fire was "still active", said a tweet from the regional government of Castile and Leon, where Zamora is located. Flames crackled and raged high into the air on the outskirts of the village of Caudiel, in Castellon, eastern Spain.

Outside the city's grand cathedral, Marisa Gutierrez was sitting beneath a shaded canopy that displayed the lottery tickets she was selling.
