High temperatures continue to dominate the weather in the province of Castellón. Although the first heat wave of the summer is beginning to lose intensity in some areas of Spain, the province will continue to experience very hot days and tropical nights over the next few days, according to weather forecasts. Highs will continue to exceed typical values for this time of year, requiring extreme caution both in agriculture and in daily life.
The countryside is facing days of heightened vigilance
For the citrus industry, these weather conditions require special attention. High temperatures increase water stress in the trees, accelerate the evaporation of water from the soil, and can encourage the emergence of certain pests if these conditions persist over time. Therefore, it is essential to optimize irrigation, avoid agricultural work during the hours of peak sunlight, and constantly monitor the condition of the orchards.
At Cocalni, we remind everyone of the importance of adapting farm work to changing weather conditions and always following the recommendations of agricultural experts to minimize the impact of heat on crops.
It's also important to protect our health
High temperatures don't just affect agriculture. The State Meteorological Agency recommends limiting sun exposure during the middle of the day, staying well-hydrated, and paying special attention to the elderly, children, and workers who are outdoors. Warm nights, which are becoming increasingly frequent, also make it difficult to get a good night's sleep and increase the risk of heatstroke.
A summer that looks set to be especially hot
AEMET experts predict that the summer of 2026 will be warmer than usual in the Valencian Community, so episodes like this could occur more frequently in the coming months. Staying informed and adapting both our agricultural activities and our daily routines will be key to safely navigating this summer season.
