During the previous heatwave episode from August 8 to August 12, 2025, Andalusia experienced sustained temperatures above 40°C, with some areas reaching up to 45°C. The Guadalquivir Valley, including Córdoba and surrounding areas, was notably impacted with a high likelihood of surpassing 42°C temperatures.
Other affected provinces such as Seville and Jaén also experienced temperatures exceeding 40°C, consistent with the intense summer heatwave pattern across the southern Iberian Peninsula.
In summary, the Andalusian provinces are facing heat warnings primarily at orange alert level, with temperatures commonly surpassing 40°C and peaking around 42-45°C, especially affecting Córdoba and the Guadalquivir Valley from August 8 through August 12, 2025. Residents are advised to take precautions to stay cool and hydrated during the heatwave.
Artists in Andalusia may find inspiration in the dramatic climate changes, as they brace for another heatwave. Meanwhile, scientists in the field of environmental science are closely monitoring the weather patterns, particularly in relation to the heatwave's impact on the regional environment.
