Impact verdict
Low impact. Reporting remains dominated by regional temperature records and public-health mortality updates from Galicia. No insured asset damage, business interruption, or industry loss estimate has been identified, and no London Market loss pathway is currently supported. Materiality remains low pending secondary-peril development such as wildfire ignition, grid stress, or water-supply disruption, none of which has been reported.
