Spain July 2026 heat wave persists, drought measures expand
Entities: Tazacorte · Argentina · Catoira · Spain · Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET)
Overview
The persistent high‑pressure ridge over the Iberian Peninsula continues to drive July temperatures well above normal, keeping drought alerts active across Spain. Forecasts through early‑mid July show clear, dry skies with coastal highs of 26‑37 °C and inland peaks around 33 °C, low afternoon humidity and occasional gusts up to 60 km/h.
On 25 July, Palma recorded temperatures between 28 °C and a peak of 33 °C, humidity falling from near‑100 % to the mid‑30s % and wind gusts up to 38 km/h. Nearby Fuencaliente de la Palma saw milder highs of 21‑25 °C, lower humidity and gusts up to 56 km/h. Both locations experienced dry, sunny conditions with no precipitation.
A three‑day outlook for 27 July adds further detail. In Tazacorte (Canary Islands) temperatures will rise to about 25 °C with north winds of 20‑27 km/h and gusts to 45 km/h. In Galicia, Catoira and Touro are expected to reach 35 °C, humidity dropping to around 20‑40 % and gusts near 45‑50 km/h. No rain is forecast for any of these sites.
Across north‑western Spain, the Xunta of Galicia maintains a pre‑alert for moderate water scarcity in the Lérez and Anllóns river basins. Reservoirs in the Galicia‑Costa basin sit at 83 % of capacity, about 10.7 % lower than a year earlier, prompting continued water‑saving measures such as beach‑shower restrictions, reduced street‑cleaning with potable water and leak‑detection efforts. Nationwide reservoirs remain critically low, and authorities sustain restrictions on non‑essential water use while monitoring the heat wave’s progression.
