Much of Europe will be under a ‘heat dome’ from tomorrow and across the weekend – and cantons Genva and Valais could be particularly hit hard.
Forecasters say temperatures could get as high as 37.
The high temperatures could last until the middle of next week.
Heading up the mountains will not give much of an escape – highs are likely to stay around 30 on the higher ground.
