Preliminary data released by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) indicates that June marked the warmest second month on record for Spain. The Agency classified the month as “exceptionally hot,” a designation reserved for periods exhibiting extremely abnormal meteorological conditions. Across mainland Spain, the recorded average temperature for the month stood at 23.2ºC.
This figure represents a significant deviation, registering 3.2ºC above the established long-term average calculated for the 1991-2020 period. Furthermore, June 2025 achieved the highest recorded monthly average since the commencement of Aemet’s historical data series in 1961, with a measured mean of 23.6ºC. The extreme weather culminated in a significant heatwave toward the end of the month, an episode that resulted in the breaking of several daily temperature records.
Specifically, June 22 and June 23 were recorded as the two hottest days in June since at least 1950. These statistics confirm that the heat experienced across the nation was substantially elevated compared to historical norms. The data underscores the intensity of the climatic event, noting that the sustained high temperatures constituted an unusual pattern for the region.
