These days, it has warmed up in most of Europe, due to the advection of warm air mass from the Atlantic and the southwest, that is, from the north of Africa and the Mediterranean.

In the south and southeast of Spain, real summer weather is recorded, with temperatures of 28°C.
There is a highly developed anticyclone over the southwest of Europe, and within it a very pronounced thermal ridge extends over western Europe and the western Mediterranean, with an influx of very warm air mass.
Across western and southwestern Europe, temperatures reach 20°C, and the hottest is in Spain and Portugal, with values from 23°C in the central parts of Portugal to 26°C in southeastern Spain, i.e. in Murcia, writes Telegraph.
The warm air mass brought melting to most of Europe and pushed the ice further east and towards Siberia. It has warmed up in the south of Scandinavia and in the European part of Russia, Telegraf reports.
Today, as yesterday, it is the hottest in the south-west of Europe, with temperatures above the summer 25°C, locally up to 28°C, and the hottest will be in the south-east of Spain, in the wider area of Valencia and Murcia, where 28° was measured this afternoon. C.
By the way, the absolute maximums for these parts of Spain for January are 27–28°C, but it cannot yet be confirmed whether they will be lowered somewhere.
Otherwise, these values are 10-15 degrees higher than the average for January.
It is very warm in France and in the south of Italy, with temperatures above 20°C in some places, and it is also very warm in Ireland with 15°C.
However, in one part of Europe, icy weather still remained, with temperatures below -30°C. We are talking about the inner part of northern Scandinavia, so while it is almost 30°C in the southwest of Europe, in the border area of Finland, Norway and Sweden the maximum temperature is -32°C.
So, there is as much as a 60 degree difference over Europe, and the temperature gradient is most pronounced in the north of Europe, so storms are raging over these regions these days, with hurricane-like winds, reports the aforementioned media.
