“Spending all this time in the heat is unbearable, you know? I drink water, you don’t feel like eating. You just feel like drinking water, water and water, and you’re like this all day long. And this heat, it hits you hard, you know? You can’t stand it.”

Meteocat said it was the highest temperature registered in 110 years of uninterrupted gathering of data and 0.2C (0.36F) higher than the previous record of 39.8 reached on July 6, 1982.

The weather agency said they expected the heatwave to remain through Thursday.
