		</div><p>A storm that swept across parts of Germany generated three tornadoes, the country’s weather service has said.</p>
<p>One of them left a trail of destruction and more than 40 people injured in a western city.</p>
<p>Meteorologists had warned of heavy rainfall, hail and strong gusts of wind in western and central Germany on Friday, and people in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia were advised to stay home.</p>
<p>Storms on Thursday had already disrupted traffic, uprooted trees that toppled on to rail tracks and roads, and flooded hundreds of basements in western Germany.</p>
<p>The German Weather Service confirmed three tornadoes in North Rhine-Westphalia – in Paderborn, in nearby Lippstadt, and on the edge of the town of Hoexter, news agency dpa reported.</p>
<p>Forty-three people were injured in Paderborn as the tornado tore across the city’s central area on Friday afternoon, 13 of them seriously, mayor Michael Dreier said.</p>
<p>Trees in a park and traffic lights “snapped like matches”, roofs were ripped off buildings and windows smashed, he told reporters on Saturday, and the storm left a roughly 300 metre-wide trail of destruction.</p>
<p>A tree hit the windscreen of a fire engine, but the occupants were not hurt.</p>
<p>Police urged people to stay home or stay out of the city on Saturday so as not to get in the way of recovery work.</p>
<p>They said they still expected possible risks from high wind.</p>
<p>Further south, authorities in Bavaria said 14 people were injured on Friday when the wooden hut they were trying to shelter in collapsed during a storm at Lake Brombach, south of Nuremberg.</p>
<p>Elsewhere in Europe, Spain was sweltering on Saturday under unusually high temperatures for late spring, with a mass of hot, dry air carrying dust from North Africa.</p>
<p>The mercury rose to 42.3C (108F) on Friday afternoon in Andujar, in the southern Andalucia region, after reaching 39.5C on Thursday</p>
<p>Two of the region’s provincial capitals, Cordoba and Sevilla, also saw similar temperatures.</p>
<p>At least 13 regions were on alert on Saturday due to heat, Spain’s State Meteorological Agency AEMET said, and the temperatures could provoke storms in five of them.</p>
<p>The “unusual and extreme” temperatures are expected to peak on Saturday.</p>
