Parts of southern Europe will get a final few days of hotter-than-normal temperatures before a broad pattern of colder weather is poised to sweep in over the continent and the UK.
The mercury is set to reach 37C (99F) in Madrid on Friday, Maxar Technologies Inc. said in a daily report. The Spanish capital will then be as much as 4.5C cooler than normal on Sunday, while London will be 3.3C below average, the forecaster said.
