Spring is appearing on the road: stability for cargo, but with two critical wind points.

The weather forecast for the coming days offers a very welcome respite after a winter of uncertainties in Spain. The improvement is significant and widespread across almost the entire peninsula.
For cargo transport, this translates into a window of stability that allows for planning routes with greater safety and meeting delivery deadlines without the usual surprises of March. The rains are taking a break and the intense cold is retreating, which is a relief both for vehicle mechanics and driver fatigue.
It is the time to take advantage of these days to make up mileage and optimize operations, but without falling into overconfidence.

However, the fact that the general outlook is mild does not mean that attention should not be paid to the fine print. There are two mandatory surveillance points for those carrying goods. The first is the countryside of Cádiz, where the easterly wind (levante) will blow with gusts that can reach 80 km/h. For a large vehicle or one with bulky cargo (such as tarpaulins or light merchandise), crossing this area requires reducing speed and ensuring the cargo is extremely well secured.
The second critical point is the north coast of Gran Canaria, where wind will also be a protagonist, particularly complicating maneuvers in port areas and on exposed roads on the island.

For the rest of the country, the trend will be weather more typical of April than March. In the north and northwest (Galicia, Cantabrian Coast), daytime temperatures will be surprisingly mild, reaching around 23 degrees in cities like Santiago.
This dissipates the risk of ice on mountain passes and improves road grip. In the interior and the Guadalquivir valley, the days will be sunny and the afternoons warm, which reduces visual fatigue from rain and improves visibility. Only on the Mediterranean coast will the breeze keep the environment cooler, but without generating real risks for traffic.

The advice for the driving professional is clear: take advantage of the stability window to boost activity, but without ignoring the exceptions. Check the AEMET warnings before leaving, especially if your route passes through Cádiz or the Canary Islands, and adjust your speed and pre-trip inspections to this new scenario.
Spring is beginning to be felt on the asphalt, and with it comes the opportunity to work more smoothly. March, for once, has decided not to put obstacles in the way on most routes. Take advantage of it.
