Warm sunshine southwest

Monday
Plenty of dry weather across Europe with high pressure centred around the southern Baltic influencing many countries. Sunshine for much of Spain and Portugal, temperatures 20C in the southwest. Risk of a few scattered showers affecting eastern parts of Spain and the Balearics but these should fizzle out. Largely dry for Sardinia, Corsica and much of Italy. Showers dotted about across the far south. Unsettled with showery rain through Greece and Turkey.
Largely dry with sunny spells through much of central Europe, though cloud will build and rain will push in to northwest France later. Austria may see one or two showers and patchy rain is looking to clear much of Slovakia and Hungary. A largely dry day for Poland.
Windy though largely dry and fine across much of Scandinavia, though cloud and rain, sleet and snow will push on to western regions of Norway. Less wind and feeling rather pleasant across the Baltic states.

Tuesday
Staying dry for much of Spain, Portugal and France, although a front lying to the northwest will bring some rain to the far northwest of Spain, also the Brittany region of France. A few showers over the western Mediterranean, but many of the islands should escape mainly dry. Thundery showers locally for southern Italy, but northern Italy and the Alps look dry and sunny.
Areas of rain and thundery showers for mainland Greece, Crete, southern Turkey and Cyprus. Showers around the Black Sea and for the southern Balkans but largely dry for Hungary. Dry weather extends across central Europe, including the Low Countries, Germany and Poland. More cloud near North Sea coasts, plus a little drizzly rain for Denmark. Dry for the Baltic states. Patchy rain for southern Sweden and western Finland. Showery and windy for western Norway.
