Rain moves across Scandinavia

Monday
Fairly unsettled across southwestern Europe, with areas of thundery rain across Spain and Portugal, mixed with some drier spells. Mostly dry for the Balearics, but expect thundery showers for Corsica, Sardinia and some more sustained rain for Sicily. Bursts of rain for much of Italy, increasingly through the day. Greece, Turkey and the Balkans will be generally dry. Likewise dry and quite warm over eastern Europe as a whole with a southerly airflow.
Some showers for west and southern France, a little patchy rain and cloud from a weakening front for northern France and the Low Countries. Much of Germany will be dry, local rain in the far northwest and a few showers toward the Alps.
Windy across Scandinavia. Rain moves across Norway into western Sweden. Heavy rain then showers for Denmark. Dry around the Baltic and much of Finland, quite mild here.

Tuesday
Areas of thundery rain continue to affect southeastern Spain, whilst Portugal and central-northwest Spain stays largely dry. Showers also for the Balearics and across to southern Italy. Patchy rain for the southern Balkans, but much of Greece and Turkey will be dry and sunny. Fine across the eastern Mediterranean, including Cyprus.
Some rain across the southern half of France and a little rain too for northern Italy. Showers for the southern Alps, mainly Austria. Much of eastern Europe looks dry with variable cloud. High pressure extends over northern France, the Low Countries and Germany bringing a fine day with some morning fog patches. A fair day too for Poland.
Breezier for Scandinavia, with some showery rain for Denmark and the Baltic states. More persistent rain for Finland, but Sweden should escape more often dry. Also dry in southern Norway, but north and western areas will be wet and windy.
