1 = most warnings

Seville sits in the Guadalquivir valley, the part of Spain with the most heat warnings, and the bar here is high: yellow needs a forecast high of 38 °C, red 44. Even so, July fills up with warnings, and a good share are orange or red.

The rest of the year it's another city: a few rain and storm warnings in autumn and spring, hardly any cold and no snow at all. If warnings were a weather map, Sevilla would be a red dot in summer and a grey one the rest of the year.

Sevilla has 689,423 inhabitants and sits in the Campiña sevillana warning zone (Sevilla). Warnings are issued for the whole zone: it shares them with 35 other towns, such as Dos Hermanas, Alcalá de Guadaíra and Utrera.

Sevilla's warning zone and its neighbours

AEMET doesn't warn by city but by zone: Sevilla gets the warnings for the Campiña sevillana zone, outlined on the map. The zones around it have their own thresholds and their own warnings.

If you live in Sevilla or are thinking of moving

With 23 orange or red days a year, serious warnings are part of the calendar: it pays to know when they come.
Summer rules: in July and August, orange or red heat warnings are routine. Look for good insulation, air conditioning and morning schedules.
The heat season starts early and ends late: some years bring warnings in late April, others stretch into late September.
In winter warnings almost disappear: it's the easiest season to move.

In short

More warnings than the Spanish median, nearly all for the same thing. If you like heat, Sevilla delivers; if not, plan your summer the way other places plan their winter.

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.
