1 = most warnings
The Cádiz coast splits its warnings between rain, wind and storms. Heat, which rules everything in inland Andalusia, barely shows up here.
The exceptional came in August 2025, with two red days for heat. And 2025 was one of the years with the most warnings.
Cádiz has 109,950 inhabitants and sits in the Litoral gaditano warning zone (Cádiz). Warnings are issued for the whole zone: it shares them with 10 other towns, such as San Fernando, Chiclana de la Frontera and El Puerto de Santa María.

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.
