As an American I would consider all of what you classified as “Southern Europe” as “Western Europe”.

In fact, we would only divide Europe into only two primary regions; Eastern and Western (which generally includes both Scandinavia and the Mediterranean west of Turkey).

The division is primarily political/historical/cultural, with geography being secondary.
