The following are lists of the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in Spain.

[2] A temperature of 48.8 °C (119.8 °F) was also recorded at Cazalla de la Sierra on August 30, 1926, but is generally not considered valid by international standards, [3] along with other unofficial readings measured in various locations, probably taken without proper instruments.
