Saturday, February 21st, was a day of generally mild and fair weather in Spain, according to a series of forecasts published by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) for dozens of cities and regions. Over most of the country, from the capital to the eastern and central regions, the sky was cloudless or only partly cloudy. Madrid and many cities in central Spain, such as Zaragoza, Guadalajara, Segovia, and Salamanca, could enjoy practically clear skies all day or with a small amount of clouds. Similarly, on the eastern coast, in Barcelona and its surroundings (L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Castelldefels), cloudless skies and sunny weather dominated from the very morning. Meanwhile, in the Castilla y León region, temperatures reaching from 14 to 17 degrees Celsius were forecast, which AEMET described as a moderate increase in maximum values. The article emphasized that residents could "take off their coats" and enjoy open spaces. In the northern regions, the picture was more varied. In Galicia, in A Coruña, an increase in cloud cover was forecast during the day, and in Lugo, morning fog. In the Basque Country, in Bilbao or Getxo, and in Cantabria (Santander), high clouds were expected to dominate. Generally, however, the weather was calm, and the articles did not mention any significant atmospheric precipitation or dangerous phenomena anywhere in the country that day. The Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) is the state institution responsible for weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and issuing meteorological warnings in Spain. It was officially established in 2008, replacing the National Institute of Meteorology, whose roots date back to the late 19th century. In summary, Saturday, February 21st, presented itself as an ideal day for outdoor activity in most of Spain, with sunny weather and pleasant, spring-like temperatures, especially in the central regions. According to the latest available forecasts, the weather situation for the next day, Sunday, February 22nd, was expected to remain stable, with a continuation of rain-free conditions, though with the possibility of morning fog in some places, such as San Sebastián or Vitoria-Gasteiz.
