North and west Europe turning more unsettled with heavy rain moving in

Monday
Many places staying dry across Spain and Portugal though do expect a few scattered showers about. The Balearics should remain dry as well as much of Italy and the islands. A few showers affecting Greece and Turkey but again many places should stay dry.
A mainly dry and fine day through France though a few showers pushing into the northwest later. Showers also looking to affect the Low Countries later. Largely dry across the rest of Europe with sunshine for many. Becoming windy and cool across northern Poland.
Denmark will be dry with sunny spells though with a cool breeze. Any showery rain should clear the Baltic states as a brisk wind blows through here. Rain, sleet and snow for much of Norway pushing on to parts of Sweden but mainly dry here. Snow for snow Finalnd but largely dry elsewhere though feeling cold in the brisk wind.

Showers pushing across the Balearic islands too into western regions of Corsica and Sardinia. Italy and Greece staying dry with sunny spells. West Turkey also dry but eastern areas seeing heavy showers develop later.
A front with rain on it pushes across France, parts of the north seeing heavy rainfall. A few showers for the Low Countries but largely dry here. Rain affecting Germany for a time but mainly dry. Some isolated showers across Austria and Switzerland but dry for the Balkans. Patchy rain for Poland but largely dry too.
Cold with snow showers pushing down Norway into parts of Sweden though much of Sweden looking to stay dry, just a few scattered showers in the south. Mostly dry but feeling cool across Denmark and the Baltic states. Snow showers affecting parts of Finland too and feeling particularly bitterly cold here.
