Greece becoming wet; snow moves across Scandinavia


Sunday
High pressure resides across western Europe. A dry and fine day for Portugal and most of Spain. Isolated showers for the Balearics. Bright and dry too for Corsica, Sardinia and much of Italy though some heavy showers could develop in the southeast through the afternoon and into the evening. A mixture of cloud and sunny spells for Greece and Turkey, possible rare showers.
A cloudy but dry day for northern France, the Low Countries and Germany. Breezy for southern France and the Alps. Some rain and snow for the Austrian Alps and Czech Republic. A slow-moving band of rain will affect Poland for much of the day as it moves from northwest to southeast across the country.
Largely dry across Scandinavia under a ridge of high pressure, with local snow showers. Later, a zone of persistent snow will move into western Norway, setting in into the night, although rain at low levels near the coast.


Monday
Little change for western Europe as high pressure stays in charge. Dry and warm for Spain and Portugal, 18C in the south-west. Breezy again for southern France and the Alps, with local snow showers for Austria and southern Germany.
Dry for much of Italy, but some heavy showers may clip the far south as an area of low pressure develops over the Ionian Sea. Bursts of rain too for southern Greece . Some rain and snow for the Balkan states, also Slovakia and southeast Poland. Chilly for eastern Europe, but fairly mild toward the north-west, with highs of 7 to 12C for northern France and the Low Countries.
Windy for Scandinavia, with low pressure pushing heavy rain and mountain snow in from the west. Mild and largely dry for southern Sweden and Denmark. Snow reaches Finland later in the day.
