Precipitation

The average rainfall for the entire region during the spring was 323.9 liters/m², being much higher than the reference value for this quarter: 148.9 litres/m². We have therefore had, and on average for the whole of Extremadura, an average surplus of 175 liters/m². That is, in this quarter the rainfall represented 218% of the reference value.

The March-April-May quarter was the second wettest of the reference period (1991-2020), in Extremadura.

The balance of accumulated rainfall during the hydrological year (from October 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025) has been classified as very humid. An average of 715 litres/m² has been recorded, the reference being 528.1 litres/m², that is, the rainfall recorded in the aforementioned period has resulted in a surplus of 186.9 litres/m². The precipitation of what we have been in the hydrological year 2024-2025 has therefore accounted for 135% of the reference value.

Temperatures

In Extremadura, the average temperature of the March-April-May quarter of 2025 was 14.9ºC, while the average reference temperature is 15.0ºC, which means that we had a negative anomaly of 0.1º C.
