Sunday, February 22, 2026, brings a sunny and warm weather in many regions to Spain. According to a series of local forecasts from the Spanish meteorological agency AEMET, from Valencia through Barcelona to Malaga, clear or slightly cloudy skies will dominate. In some regions, such as Castile and León, morning frosts are possible, but the overall picture of the day is very favorable in terms of weather.
Sunny Sunday Across the Country
AEMET forecasts for many Spanish cities indicate a day dominated by sunshine and high temperatures for the end of February.
Local Forecasts for Dozens of Cities
The service El Confidencial published detailed forecasts for dozens of localities, from large cities to smaller centers.
High Temperatures for Winter
Mention is made of exceptionally high temperatures, more typical of late spring, which continues earlier reports of an anomaly.
Possible Frost Inland
In regions such as Castile and León, despite sunshine during the day, morning frosts are possible.
The end of February 2026 brings Spain another day with exceptionally favorable, spring-like weather. While some regions of Spain enjoyed warm weather, Sunday, February 22 also brought sudden weather breakdowns, and the AEMET agency issued warnings for heavy rains and strong winds for the eastern coasts. Local news services reported varied weather conditions, indicating spring temperatures in the south, alongside flood warnings in other parts of the country. In Valencia and throughout the Valencian Community, a day with "cielo despejado" (cloudless) and warmth is forecast. Similarly, in Barcelona, Malaga, Valladolid, Bilbao, Córdoba, or Cádiz, sunshine and no precipitation are expected to dominate. In northern and central regions, such as Castile and León, the day is also expected to be sunny, but with high-pressure weather, morning frosts are possible, as reported by the local press. In Burgos, Ávila, or Teruel, despite sunny weather during the day, nights and mornings may be cool. This weather pattern – sunny, warm days and cooler nights – is characteristic of stable high-pressure weather in the winter period. It indicates the dominance of a high-pressure system over the Iberian Peninsula, which blocks the inflow of moist and cool air masses from the Atlantic. Spain is a country with a diverse climate, ranging from oceanic in the northwest to Mediterranean on the coast and continental inland. February warm spells, colloquially called "veranillo de febrero" (little summer of February), are not uncommon, but their intensity and frequency are increasing in the context of observed climate changes. For comparison, the official record temperature for February in Poland is 22.1°C, set in 2021 in Maków Podhalański.The publication of such a large number of nearly identical, local weather forecasts in a short time interval suggests that the information about a sunny Sunday is a mass information service, generated automatically based on AEMET data. Each article adapts the general, favorable weather pattern to a specific locality, which is an example of hyperlocal data journalism. These reports lack information about any serious weather threats, confirming the calm and stable nature of the day on a national scale. These forecasts continue the theme of an exceptionally warm and dry end to winter in Spain, which was the subject of earlier reports. Such weather favors outdoor activities and stands in stark contrast to more dynamic and dangerous phenomena that can accompany rapid thaws in other parts of Europe, for example in Poland.
