WE SHALL FRY THEM ON THE BEACHES..

Warning as Brits carry on sunbathing in 49C Europe

- SOPHIA PAPAMAVROUDI

SUN-barmy Brits are braving the European heatwave and hitting holiday beaches – as temperatures soar to a sizzling 49C. 

The record-breaking blast, dubbed Cerberus, has been branded a “threat to life” in Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey.

It has wreaked havoc across the Continent, with wildfires raging in Croatia and tourists fainting from the blistering heat in top European resorts.

Other holidaymakers have been rescued from the sea after getting into trouble cooling off.

But it’s not stopped thousands of hardy Brits taking to sunloungers. Yesterday, many braved the extreme heat to top up their tan in Spain’s Benidorm and Albufeira in Portugal, while others cooled off at nearby bars.
