The extreme weather outlook for Spain remains critical as temperatures and storm risks persist through August 9, 2026. In Andalusia, the Cordoba countryside is under an orange alert for temperatures expected to reach 40°C, while Seville, Granada, and Jaén are under yellow alerts. Orange heat alerts continue for Aragon, the Balearic Islands, and Catalonia, with the Ebro valley also facing temperatures near 40°C. Additionally, 35 municipalities in Galicia are under heat alerts. Concurrently, instability driven by high-altitude cold air is expected to trigger severe thunderstorms, hail, and intense wind gusts. Orange rainfall alerts are active for Aragon, while Murcia and Navarra remain under yellow alerts. New developments include a historic marine heatwave in the Mediterranean, where the Dragonera buoy in the Balearic Islands recorded a record temperature of 33.02°C. This extreme warming increases the risk of DANA-driven storm events in the Valencian Community. Castellón is under an orange alert for torrential rain and storms, with warnings also active in Almería and Granada. Looking ahead, a total solar eclipse is scheduled for August 12. It is expected to be visible in parts of Spain under generally clear skies, though observers will face high temperatures during the event.
