Thus, the Special Height Rescue Group has carried out 297 actions compared to 443 in 2021 in the Madrid mountains and, as indicated by the Executive in a statement, this decrease is due to the weather conditions in the region, since the hottest months The cold days weren’t particularly harsh and, furthermore, the summer was very hot.
Manzanares El Real, Rascafría, Cercedilla and Navacerrada are the municipalities with the highest number of interventions, which coincides with those with the greatest influx for the practice of sport.
The months with the highest workload were January and May, with 38 and 36 interventions respectively, while the lowest number occurred in March, with only 12.
