1 = most warnings
Avilés's zone, the western Asturian coast, is among those with the fewest warnings in Spain. No red warning in the last eight years and no warning season: some heavy rain, wind in autumn and winter and the odd storm in June and September.
The defining fact: from 2019 to 2025 there wasn't a single heat warning. Only one other zone in Spain, A Mariña in Lugo, can say the same. More on the Asturian coast in storms in Asturias, zone by zone.
Avilés has 75,517 inhabitants and sits in the Litoral occidental asturiano warning zone (Asturias). Warnings are issued for the whole zone: it shares them with 7 other towns, such as Corvera de Asturias, Valdés and Navia.

How this was made
Everything comes from the archive of official AEMET warnings that Climaviso has kept since June 2018: each day counts once, at the highest level the zone had. A warning is a forecast, not damage or a measurement, and it's issued for the whole zone, not your street. We don't cover measured temperatures or rainfall: only when, and why, a warning was issued.
