Very hot weather is expected to continue across the south-western Europe this week, as the pattern supports ridging across much of Europe and troughs over the Atlantic, maintaining warm advection into the Iberian peninsula. Daily afternoon temperatures should reach up to 35 °C in some areas and even closer to 40°C over the weekend.
Attached are daily maximum temperature values for Iberian peninsula – all days should easily surpass 30 °C and even 35 °C.

A more robust pattern will evolve over the weekend with strong ridge re-developing into west-southwest Europe and bring even stronger warm advection towards north. The result will be even higher temperatures across southwestern Spain and Portugal. Models are trending into upper 30s to almost 40 °C peak afternoon temperatures, both on Saturday and Sunday.
