    I imagine you have searched for data, and have looked up Almería (city) not the province. The city is on the shore. Almeria province is hilly. As soon as you go some few hundred meters up climate becomes way more extreme.

    temps are consistently above 95° (35°C) blow Almeria and everywhere in Europe out of the water. Hate to tell you, but in Madrid (and it’s not the hottest) it’s been between 34 and 40ºC since June. Albox, in the province of Almeria for example had a max in 2021 of 45º C.

    For most vegetables, passive methods, such as greenhouses, with shade systems and ventilation, these extremes can be reduced.
