Thursday
High pressure centred over eastern Europe brings lots of dry weather to Europe. A south to south-westerly flow keeps western areas very mild. Dry and warm for southern Spain and Portugal, but cooler and breezy in the north of Iberia, with a little rain in the far north-west. Scattered, mainly light showers for Italy.
Dry and sunny for Greece and Turkey. Showers for Cyprus. Staying quite warm across France, highs 21C, with sunny spells. Thicker cloud toward Brittany. A good amount of sun too for Switzerland and Austria, also Hungary. Dry for Germany, although northern areas quite cloudy. Dull too in Poland, fairly cool at 9C. Patchy rain for Denmark and southern Norway. Much of northern Scandinavia and the Baltic region will be dry, if rather cloudy and cool.
Friday
Dry with sunny spells across Spain and Portugal in Friday. Fair for the Balearics with more sunshine to come here. Heavy showers in the far south of Italy, but mostly fine in central and northern Italy although with morning fog. A dry day with sunshine in Greece and through Turkey too.
Some fog in southern France, this clearing to leave dry weather with sunny spells. Cloud and rain in northern France later and this reaching the Low Countries too. Mostly dry in Germany with sunny spells, but some rain in northern Poland. The risk of early fog in Austria, Hungary and Switzerland but this clearing to leave sunny spells.
Cloud and some rain in Norway and Denmark. Fair for the Baltic States with more sunshine here. Scattered showers in Finland, but mostly fair for Sweden with more sunshine here.
