Fine through the Mediterranean

Today
While relatively mild across Europe today rain is forecast across the United Kingdom through France, Germany, the Low Countries and into much of Scandinavia. The heaviest rain will be across Norway. Windy as well with gusts to gale force across northern parts of Europe. Some light rain is also expected across northern Spain but for much of Iberia it's dry with sunny spells. Showers will develop across northern Italy with southern Italy, Greece and Turkey fine and dry with good sunny spells. Dry through the Balkans with morning fog clearing.

Tuesday
Little change is expected across much of Europe. It looks wet and windy across France, Germany, Scandinavia, the Benelux Countries and the Baltic States. Heavier rain will push back into the UK too. It should become drier and brighter later in the day through France. Much of the Mediterranean though is looking fine and dry with lots of sunshine from Spain into Italy, Greece and Turkey. Perhaps the far south of Italy and Sicily could see a few showers.
