25 hot days so far, 4th of Madrid's 106 summers.

Hot here means 36.4 °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 Madrid'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.

57 nights so far that never dropped below 20 °C, against 11.2 in a typical 1961-1990 summer by this date. That is 1st of its 106 summers.

Madrid's hottest day this year, 39.5 °C, is 9th on this record. The previous best is 40.7 °C in 2022, the dot on the drop line. A typical summer here peaks at 37.0 °C. Its hot-day count is 4th of 106: a count and a peak are different claims, and neither borrows the other's rank.
