The central Lleida plain has warnings almost all year round. Heat is the top reason, followed by storms and rain; July and August are the busiest months, and in 2026 warnings ran back to back from 28 July to 20 August.
Winter gives no respite: January is almost as busy as summer, for fog and cold. And there are reds: for heat in several summers, starting in late June 2019, and for rain on 22 and 23 October 2019 and in July 2025.
Lleida has 146,266 inhabitants and sits in the Depresión central de Lleida warning zone (Lleida). Warnings are issued for the whole zone: it shares them with 7 other towns, such as Tàrrega, Balaguer and Mollerussa.

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.
