Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns of extreme heat in Spain

The Swedish Embassy has posted a message on its website urging Swedish citizens in the country to check their mobile phones, as the high temperatures may affect mobile networks and the ability to call 112.

The embassy's advice to Swedish citizens in the country:
• Check the coordinates of your location (if you are in a rural area).
• Check where there is mobile phone coverage.
• Think about how you can describe the route to the location if you need to raise the alarm due to a forest fire.
• Remember to leave your contact details and those of others at the location if you raise the alarm. This will enable the emergency services to contact you via the information provided by 112 if they need more details.
• Make sure that everyone with you can describe where you are.
• Follow the advice of the local authorities.
