In the last hour, meteorologists have issued a weather warning. The heatwave is expected to last for days. People are advised to drink plenty of water and stay indoors.
Fire trucks are on standby to put out wildfires, although water levels are already extremely low.
In some places, a water shortage will occur. The use of hosepipes has been banned - every drop of water is needed for drinking and washing.
Rescue services are attending scenes where many are suffering from heat stress and severe sunburn.
