Weather turning more unsettled across central and eastern Mediterranean

Saturday
Largely dry and fair through Spain and Portugal, however, still some cloud about in the far southeast of the country with some heavier showers affecting Ibiza and Majorca. Some heavier rain looking to affect southern regions of Sardinia later on as well as Sicily and some far southern regions of mainland Italy. Largely dry elsewhere. Mostly dry across Greece and Turkey.
With high pressure still strong through Europe many countries will stay dry with some good spells of sunshine. A few heavier showers still down the Balkan States, these easing into the afternoon. Some lighter patchy rain across Polandstill too.
Largely dry and settled across Scandinavia including Denmark as the ridge extends as far north as here on Saturday. Some showery rain though pushing across the Baltic region however.

Sunday
Largely dry and fine across Spain and Portugal with any showers clearing from the Balearics. More unsettled though across the central and eastern Med as a deepening low pressure system creates spells of heavy rain across Sardinia, Sicily, Malta as well as southern regions of mainland Italy. Greece also seeing some heavier showers move through. Drier through Turkey.
Largely dry across Europe still, although cloud looks to build with some patchy rain moving in through northwest France. A brisk wind too along the coasts here as well as the Low Countries.
Outbreaks of rain move in to Norway on Sunday with patchy rain across parts of Sweden but largely dry here. Winds strengthen too but from a mild southwesterly direction. Largely dry across Finland and the Baltic region but cloud likely to thicken in the west here. Dry and mild for Denmark.
