In the Vegas del Guadiana, heat is by far the top reason for a warning. July and August hold most of the year, and the other reasons (rain, fog, storms) trail far behind.
What sets Badajoz apart is intensity: many of its heat warnings rise to orange or red. Heat has reached red in several summers, such as August 2018, August 2021 and July 2022, and from late July to mid-August 2025 the warnings gave no break.
Badajoz has 150,209 inhabitants and sits in the Vegas del Guadiana warning zone (Badajoz). Warnings are issued for the whole zone: it shares them with 6 other towns, such as Mérida, Don Benito and Villanueva de la Serena.

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.
