Low level spot winds for Spain
Unfortunately the Met Office's Form 214 stops in northern Spain. I require a spot wind chart (up to FL100) for the south of Spain - I know that DWD.de has this, but it's a subscription service.
Does anyone know if this information is available from a free, public source?
Many thanks in advance.

Go to Oceanor and select the winds at surface, 850HPa(5000') or 700Hpa(10000') from the first drop-down and the date/time from the other drop-down to get a graphical chart.
Maybe of some use?
The speeds are m/s so simply double the number to get knots

Load a forecast sounding (or several) for your flight from here:
Soundings from ESRL/GSD
(use GFS as the input data source)
Click on the "get text" button, you'll get a pop-up window giving you the forecast wind direction & speed at various pressure altitudes.
