Although with less probability, other mountainous areas of the North and this peninsular They could also be affected by this instability, contrasting with the dominant stability in the Southwest Third.

This climate pattern is part of a global context of extreme events, linked to Atmospheric carbon dioxide record (422.8 ppm in 2024)which amplifies thermal phenomena. While the west of the US suffers from the US and the American southwest supports heat waves similar to Spanish, the persistence of high pressures in Europe Explain the anomalous duration of this Iberian heat wave.

The authorities recommend avoiding outdoor activities between 12:00 and 18:00 hoursespecially in thermal risk areas such as Valles del Guadiana and Guadalquivirwhere the thermometers will exceed 40 ° C.
