The summer of 2026 has offered no respite. Barely a few days after the first heatwave, which is estimated to have caused nearly 900 deaths in June, according to the MoMo mortality monitoring system run by the Ministry of Health, began to ease, Spain's State Meteorological Agency is already on alert for a new episode.
AEMET itself has indicated on social media that in the coming days very warm air masses will sweep over Spain and that a new heatwave from the weekend onwards cannot be ruled out. The forecast points to high daytime and night-time temperatures for several days in a row, a pattern that has already become the norm this summer.
The trigger is a very warm air mass in low levels to the west of the peninsula, which is moving towards Portugal and Spain and which, according to the latest forecast charts, could give rise to what would already be known as the second heatwave of the year in Spain.
