Low pressure brings thundery downpours to southern Italy

Sunday
Dry and sunny conditions across Portugal, Spain, the Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia on Sunday. Heavy, thundery rain finally clears southern Italy, but lingers over Sicily, to leave a dry and fine day here too. Early showers fade over Greece allowing for a dry and sunny day here and for much of Turkey.
Cloudy over northern France, brighter to the south but staying largely dry. Mostly cloudy for the Low Countries, Germany and Poland with patchy light rain over northern areas. After a sunny start, cloud thickens over Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia but it stays dry.
A deep area of low pressure brings very breezy conditions to Scandinavia and the Baltic States. Persistent outbreaks of rain and snow affect western coasts of Norway while scattered wintry showers affect Finland and northern Sweden. Mostly bright with isolated showers for Denmark while more frequent showers affect Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
