Temperatures surpassing 40 degrees Celsius means Spanish football chiefs are pondering postponing matches this weekend.
Soaring temperatures in Spain could impact this weekend's La Liga schedule, with matches featuring Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid among those at risk of being called off.
A late summer heat wave has seen temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) over recent days and Spanish Football League (LFP) president Javier Tebas says some games could be postponed if the hot weather persists.
"If the temperature [at the weekend] reaches 40 degrees we could postpone some La Liga games," he told Cadena Cope.
