Hot here means 30.6 °C or above, a level about one summer day in twenty used to reach at this station between 1971 and 2000. The bar has not moved; the number of days clearing it has. Every year is counted to 8 August, so a part-finished summer is never set against complete ones. That threshold is Barcelona's own. It is not a national standard and it is not comparable with another city's: every figure on this page is measured against this station and nothing else.

59 nights so far that never dropped below 20 °C, against 11.1 in a typical 1961-1990 summer by this date. That is 3rd of its 87 summers.
