Becoming quite mild

Today
Quite a windy, unsettled day across central parts of the Mediterranean today with lots of heavy showers and thunderstorms across the Balearics, southern Italy and Greece. A large area of fine, dry and mostly sunny weather will extend from Spain into France, the United Kingdom into the Low Countries and Germany. Windy with gales across Scandinavia along with spells of rain. A band of lighter rain will be moving across the Baltic Region and Poland.

Sunday
High pressure now centred over Europe will give a large part of Europe a fine, settled day with plenty of sunshine from Iberia through France, Italy into Germany and Poland. A line of heavy, thundery showers will lie near the Balearics towards Sardinia and Scilly. Showers too across Turkey but a dry day for Greece. Another belt of rain will lie across Norway into Scotland but for the rest of Scandinavia and England it will be fine and mostly sunny. A mild day across all of Europe today.
