The third official heatwave of 2026, driven by a surge of Saharan air under persistent high pressure and clear skies, anchors trader focus on 38–40°C for Madrid’s July 23 maximum. AEMET and ECMWF ensemble guidance shows stable deterministic runs centered near 38°C, with limited Saharan advection compared to June’s extremes and daily highs tracking 33–39°C through late July. This consensus, set against climatological July averages near 37°C, explains the heavy weighting toward 39°C and 38°C outcomes while leaving modest room for 40°C if advection strengthens. Final model updates and official observations on the day remain the key near-term variables.
