In central Lugo, rain is the top reason for a warning, followed by wind and storms; fog turns up now and then. Heat, cold and snow barely count.
Unlike inland Spain, summer here is quiet: January and December are the busiest months, and April and August the calmest. In the last eight years, no red warning.
Lugo sits in the Centro de Lugo warning zone (Lugo). Warnings are issued for the whole zone: it shares them with 5 other towns, such as Guitiriz, Meira and Palas de Rei.

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.
