After a brief turn to cooler conditions over the weekend, warmth will return to western and central Europe through the middle of the week.
On Friday, temperatures highs reached near 21 C (70 F) in London and Paris. A brief shot of cooler, more seasonably air moved in for the weekend. However, as a ridge in the jet stream builds over the area, warm air will return.
London is expected to see highs in the lower to middle 20s C (lower 70s F) Tuesday and Wednesday. This would be the first time since October of last year when highs have been this warm for consecutive days.
The warmup has already taken hold from northern Spain into France. Warmth will spread farther east through the middle of the week, reaching Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary by Wednesday with high temperatures in the low to mid-20s C (low to mid-70s F).
Not all areas, however, will see a warming trend through the middle of the week.

One caveat to the warm temperatures in western Europe will be found in Portugal and Spain. Low pressure now located across the Atlantic will drift to the east, eventually reaching Spain by Wednesday. While the start of the week will be warm across the country with dry conditions, Wednesday will turn cooler as clouds, showers and thunderstorms develop across most of the Iberian Peninsula.
In Madrid, high temperatures reached 23 C (73 F) on Monday and will remain significantly above normal on Tuesday. This will change with the return of rain on Wednesday as highs will reach only 17 C (63 F). While this is significantly cooler than early week, it is close to normal for the middle of April.
