July‑August 2026 Spain heatwave and wildfires

Entities: Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET) · France · Republic of Croatia · Zamora plateau · Granada

Overview

The Iberian Peninsula endured an intense heatwave through late July, with AEMET issuing yellow warnings for Valencia and daytime highs above 35 °C across the east and south. Record‑size wildfires erupted on 23 July, scorching roughly 6,000 ha in Spain’s Madrid and Ávila provinces and prompting the evacuation of about 19,000 residents. The Spanish government declared a national‑interest emergency and mobilised over 2,000 firefighters. In neighbouring France, a megafire in Gironde burned more than 42,000 ha, displacing around 220,000 people, while a separate blaze in the Var department affected 4,500 ha and forced 5,000 evacuations. The EU’s RescEU programme dispatched Canadair CL‑415 aircraft from Greece, Italy and Croatia, with Croatia sending a second crew.

Heat persisted into early August. On 5 August, AEMET raised orange and yellow alerts for Catalonia, the Valencian Community and Aragon after severe thunderstorms on 1 August produced hail, strong winds, road closures and rail disruptions, generating 399 emergency calls. The Canary Islands faced a heat alert for Gran Canaria and La Palma, with a record 42.6 °C recorded in La Aldea de San Nicolás, and fire‑risk warnings were maintained on five islands. Tenerife’s Cabildo eased restrictions in the north but kept grade‑2 measures in the south‑west. Alisio winds were expected to strengthen, helping to disperse the lingering heat, though temperatures above 30 °C remained across the archipelago.

Authorities continued to urge hydration, limit sun exposure and protect vulnerable groups. Fire‑fighting resources stayed on standby as the heatwave and associated fire risk lingered across the region.
