Zaragoza is set for several days of clear skies and rising temperatures, with highs above 30°C and barely any wind. Neighboring cities face similar conditions, offering little relief from the heat.
Zaragoza is in for a stretch of hot, quiet weather as temperatures rise above 31°C this weekend, according to the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET). The city will move out of its current stable pattern and into even warmer days, with Sunday expected to reach 33°C. Winds will stay light, so the heat will linger.
Thursday starts off clear, with a high of 28°C and a low of 14°C. The real feel may reach 29°C, but with only a faint westerly breeze, there won’t be much relief. This calm, dry air is expected to stick around. Friday brings more of the same: no clouds, barely any wind, and slightly higher temperatures as the breeze shifts northwest.
In early September 2026, Zaragoza and Huesca broke historical September temperature records, highlighting the exceptional warmth in the region.
The heat will build through the weekend. Saturday’s forecast calls for a high above 31°C and a low of 15°C. Sunday will be hotter still, with a peak of 33°C and a low of 17°C. Winds are expected to stay weak and variable, so there’s little chance of cooling off. This steady, dry weather is a sharp contrast to the storms and rain that have hit other parts of Spain, like Bilbao, where recent downpours have disrupted daily life.
Other cities in Aragon will see similar conditions. Huesca will have clear skies and temperatures between 11°C and 26°C. Calahorra starts Thursday with a few clouds, but skies will clear by midday, and temperatures will range from 12°C to 26°C. Across the region, the lack of wind and rain means the heat will stick around, with little relief for those sensitive to high temperatures.
These forecasts, based on provisional data from AEMET, point to a period of calm weather for Zaragoza and nearby cities. While some may welcome the break from storms or sudden cold snaps, the steady rise in daytime highs brings back summer-like heat just as autumn approaches. Residents and visitors should take care to stay hydrated and protect themselves from the sun, as there will be little shade in the city’s streets and plazas. With no significant wind or rain expected, Zaragoza will have to adjust to the heat as the week goes on.
According to Euronews citing AEMET, the summer of 2026 was the hottest ever recorded in Spain, and the early September heatwave prompted orange-level warnings in parts of Aragon, with temperatures in Zaragoza reaching up to 41°C during the peak.
