The CLIVAR Spain Report on the Climate in Spain

The CLIVAR-Spain Report on the Climate in Spain is a comprehensive scientific document produced by the CLIVAR-Spain committee, focusing on climate variability and predictability within the country. The 2024 edition, released on March 13, 2025, offers an in-depth analysis of Spain's climate, encompassing past trends, current observations, and future projections.

Key findings from the report indicate that Spanish seas are warming at a rate 67% higher than the global average, with temperatures increasing by 0.25 degrees Celsius per decade compared to the global rate of 0.15 degrees. 

The Mediterranean Sea is particularly affected, warming up to three times faster than the global average since the 1980s. This accelerated warming leads to more frequent and intense marine heatwaves, increased water salinity, and exacerbates extreme weather events, such as the DANA in Valencia.
