How to read these numbers

ERA5 is a reanalysis on a 0.25° grid (about 25 km): it counts slightly more light-rain days than nearby weather stations (by about 5–7 percentage points) and gives daytime highs about 1–2.5 °C below station readings, so real hot days were hotter than shown here.
Edition window: the official programme days (main festival days, without camping or warm-up days before the start).
Dates of past editions follow the rule described in Wikipedia (es: Fallas): “14 al 19 de marzo”. We applied it to 1991–2025, leaving out 2020–21 (cancelled or held differently).
