The Ebro valley in La Rioja packs its warnings into three months. Storms are the top reason, followed closely by heat, and June to August hold most of the year's warnings.
Autumn, by contrast, is calm: October is its month with the fewest warnings, just as the grape harvest fills the city.
Logroño has 152,150 inhabitants and sits in the Ribera del Ebro de La Rioja warning zone (La Rioja). Warnings are issued for the whole zone: it shares them with 8 other towns, such as Alfaro, Arnedo and Calahorra.

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.
