The last Friday of February brings exceptionally mild weather conditions to Central Europe. While temperatures in Berlin and Brandenburg reach 20 degrees Celsius, Poland is dealing with complete cloud cover, but with positive thermometer readings. Meanwhile, the Canary Islands are preparing for the impact of the DANA phenomenon, which will bring wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h and rainfall mixed with dust from the Sahara.

At the end of February 2026, Europe is experiencing significant weather anomalies characterized by almost spring-like temperatures in a belt from Germany to Poland. In Berlin and Brandenburg, the arrival of meteorological spring has been declared, and thermometer readings in Brandenburg could rise to as high as 20 degrees Celsius. Although nights remain cool with temperatures around 2–5 degrees, the days are conducive to outdoor activities. However, the German Meteorological Service predicts a slight cooling over the coming weekend. The phenomenon of unusually high temperatures in February, sometimes called 'early spring', is becoming an increasingly frequent occurrence in Central Europe, which scientists link to changes in air mass circulation over the Atlantic. In Poland, the situation is more varied. Most of the country, including Warsaw, Gdańsk, and Szczecin, is under a thick layer of clouds, with humidity in the coastal belt reaching as high as 92 percent. Despite the lack of sun, temperatures are surprisingly high for this time of year. In Szczecin, thermometers could read up to 16.3 degrees Celsius, and in Warsaw, 10.9 degrees. Stable, high atmospheric pressure, oscillating around 1025 hPa, guarantees meteorological calm and a lack of sudden phenomena, although residents of southern Poland, including Zakopane, must expect morning frosts. „Una DANA dejará en Canarias fuertes rachas de viento y lluvias de barro” — AEMET A completely different weather scenario concerns the Iberian Peninsula and Spanish archipelagos.
