Fine and warm central and southern Europe, rain and wind to the north

Tuesday
High pressure over much of Europe, resulting in very warm and dry conditions over Spain and Portugal, as well as across the Balearics. Similar conditions over Italy and Greece, and largely dry over Turkey, with the risk of an odd shower to the south. However, showery conditions persist over Cyprus.
Warm and pleasant weather across France, Germany, and the lower countries, with a light breeze and sunny spells. Some light showers and drizzle across central Europe, particularly southern Poland, Slovakia, and Czech Republic, however, remaining bright for the most part, with some outbreaks of cloud and the risk of some scattered showers in eastern Hungary and Austria.
Largely dry over the Baltics, with the potential of some showers to those on the western coast, and slightly windier conditions. Unsettled conditions in northern Europe as the low pressure system moves over western Norway, bringing heavy rain and blustery winds across the west of the country. Light drizzle to the south of Norway and northern Sweden, some showers dotted across Finland. As a whole, Scandinavia will be overcast and windy.
