I am sure folks in Spain and Portugal are sick of seeing the miserable rain and winds, fortunately some relief is on the way.
On Sunday, a 500hpa ridge begins to push in from the southwest. It's a transient feature as you would expect in February, meaning it won't be sticking around. But as geopotential heights increase on Monday, temperatures along the southern regions of Iberia will respond favourably with some locations reaching the low 20s celcius. Most of the week remains settled and enjoying some spring warmth and some of the early warmth will push into central Iberia by midweek.
I think the hotspots are likely eastern most Spain. Potentially 26 or 27c could be reached for Murcia by the end of the week.
The ridge repositions by the end of the week and cooler temperatures push in by the weekend, but it remain DRY!
I've attached the 500hpa heights, showing higher pressure over most of Iberia on Thursday.
Enjoy the sunshine next week!
