Spain ended June as the second-warmest on record, according to provisional data from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). The agency has described the month as "extremely hot", a category reserved for exceptionally abnormal episodes.
The average temperature in mainland Spain was 23.2ºC, 3.2ºC above the average for the 1991–2020 period. Only June 2025, with an average of 23.6ºC, recorded higher values since Aemet’s historical series began in 1961.
The heatwave that marked the end of the month also broke several daily records. 22 and 23 June were the two hottest days ever recorded in June since at least 1950. The agency labelled the episode "extraordinary" because of its intensity, duration and geographical reach, especially in the north of the mainland, where numerous temperature records were broken.
