Description

The heat wave Zoe in Seville (Spain) (July 24th, 2022) was the first heat wave event
named after a health-based categorization system. It was followed in 2023 by their
siblings Yago, Xenia, Wenceslao, and Vera.


We report here how the pilot project ProMeteo addressed the forecast, and the main
climatic characteristics of the heat waves identified during those years. We also provied
a comparison between model expectations and observed daily mortality.
