Gijón's zone, the eastern Asturian coast, is among those with the fewest warnings in Spain. What there is is mostly heavy rain, wind and the odd storm, spread over most of the year with no clear warning season.
Heat, the top reason for a warning in half of Spain, is almost an anecdote here: over the last 7 years it has barely reached warning level.
Gijón has 269,894 inhabitants and sits in the Litoral oriental asturiano warning zone (Asturias). Warnings are issued for the whole zone: it shares them with 7 other towns, such as Villaviciosa, Llanes and Gozón.

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.
