1 Introduction The Iberian Peninsula (IP), owing to its location in South–western Europe, between the subtropical high-pressure belt and the mid-latitude eddy-driven westerly jet stream and to its complex terrain features (e.g., several mountain ranges with inner sheltered plateaus), is a challenging region for the analysis of precipitation variability (Casado et al. 2010; Ramos, Cortesi, and Trigo 2014). Different studies carried out on monthly and daily timescales (Belo-Pereira et al.

3.2. Synoptic Atmospheric DynamicsThe synoptic atmospheric conditions for the defined precipitation classes are represented by the composites of the MSLP and geopotential at 500 hPa (Z500) in Figure 3. These composites correspond to the average of all-time fields identified for each of the precipitation classes defined in the previous section. The appearance of a prominent Azores anticyclone that stretches towards the British Isles can be observed in Figure 3a–c for C0 (no precipitation).
