The average temperature in Cádiz during April reached 18.5 degrees Celsius, placing it 2.4 degrees above the Andalusian average and making it the third province with the highest thermal value in the region. This record, classified as "very warm" by Aemet, was only surpassed by Seville (19.5 degrees) and Almería (19.2 degrees).
In contrast to the high temperatures, rainfall in Cádiz was remarkably scarce, recording only 14.1 liters per square meter. This figure led Aemet to classify the month as "very dry" for the province, reflecting a water balance much lower than expected for a spring month.
“"The contrast between high temperatures and scarce rainfall marked the meteorological behavior of the month across much of the Andalusian territory."
Regionally, Andalusia closed April with an average temperature of 16.8 degrees, which is 2.4 degrees above the historical average. This data positions April of this year as the second or third warmest April since 1961 in the autonomous community, with all Andalusian provinces experiencing "very warm" thermal conditions.
The persistence of high values in the Andalusian Atlantic strip, as observed in Cádiz, reinforces a trend of warm springs. The combination of above-average temperatures and limited rainfall has direct implications for sectors such as agriculture and water resource management in the region.
