Most of Spain under blistering weather alert.

Some areas may reach 110° Fahrenheit. Residents advised to stay indoors until 6 PM.

Madrid city hall issued a series of guidelines, including advising everyone to remain hydrated throughout the day by drinking at least three litres of water per day and avoid drinking alcohol.

It also warned residents to keep their windows open and their blinds drawn and avoid being out in the streets between noon and 6:00 p.m. when temperatures are at their highest.

I feel like I'm back in California, where we had brown, dusty summers. Now they're turning into a desert and we're turning into them.

Global climate change -- it's here.
