Spain heat wave persists, storms spark fires in Galicia

Overview

The red heat‑wave alert (level 3) remains in place across north‑western Spain, with 138 municipalities in Galicia still under the highest warning. Forest‑fire surveillance with drones and patrols continues, especially around O Porriño, while health authorities advise vulnerable groups to stay hydrated. On 11 July a powerful summer storm hit Galicia, bringing intense lightning, heavy rain and gusts up to 90 km/h. The storm triggered a transformer fire at Limodre on the Fene‑Ares border, which spread to a nearby hill before the Supramunicipal Emergency Group extinguished it by 23:00. A second lightning strike ignited a forest fire in the Covas parish of Ferrol; regional forest teams also brought this under control quickly. Later that day, the national meteorological agency AEMET issued orange and yellow alerts for the DANA system affecting north‑west Spain. In Galicia, 5,764 lightning strikes were recorded, causing temporary interruptions to outdoor festivals. Authorities warned of localized rain up to 30 L m⁻² h⁻¹, hail up to 2 cm and wind gusts of 80–90 km/h, and advised drivers to avoid flooded zones. AEMET’s forecast for the following Saturday predicted a slight easing of temperatures – still reaching 36 °C‑38 °C in parts of Galicia – but expected strong thunderstorms with hail across the western interior, as well as cooler, cloudier conditions in Tenerife. On 1 August a low‑pressure Atlantic system moved toward Galicia, bringing persistent rain to the coastal provinces and maintaining inland temperatures of 36‑38 °C, prompting a yellow fire‑risk alert. Civil‑protection agencies heightened monitoring of forested areas as the combination of heat and sudden storms raised the danger of dry thunderstorms and hail, especially in the mountainous zones of Ourense and Lugo.
