Spain in July: where the bad weather is, and where it isn't
Averages for 2019–2025, from official warnings. Updated 26 October 2026.
July belongs to the heat. Eight in ten of the month's warnings are for high temperatures, led by the Guadalquivir valley. If you want a refuge, Galicia's north coast and the Granada coast have the fewest warnings in Spain.

How to read these numbers
A zone-day is one warning zone with a warning on one day: Spain has 182 zones, so ten zones warned on the same day make ten. Each zone has its own thresholds, so a warning doesn't mean the same everywhere. And a warning is a forecast, not damage or a measurement: we count when and where warnings were issued, not how much rain fell or how hot it got.
