Sunday
Sunny and settled weather in central Europe gradually migrates east throughout the day. Expect a chilled, mostly sunny day from eastern France through Romania and Ukraine. In the afternoon, prolonged sun will extend into Denmark, southern Sweden, and the Baltics. Pockets of more extensive cloud may form, but otherwise only scattered clouds.
Clouds will be more extensive on the Iberian Peninsula. Moderate showers will form along Portugal's coast and in the Bay of Biscay. The islands between Spain and Italy will experience greater cloud coverage than days past but remain dry. Expect dry and mostly sunny conditions across Italy after some morning showers in the southeast move away.
Low pressure continues to dominate over the Aegean Sea, facilitating heavy rains along the coasts with frequent showers and sun spells on nearby the islands. Rains and winds will decrease north of Greece, though clouds likely to remain over the Balkans. Afternoon sun will push southward through Hungary, northern Croatia and Albania. The high grounds of North Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Montenegro will continue to see snow. River valleys in this region may flood after several days of strong rains, though frozen precipitation at high altitudes may temper such effects.
The British Isles will see a push of milder air as a band of light-to-moderate rain arrives on a southwesterly wind. Upon passage, winds gradually shift west, bringing the potential for sunny skies and showers. The Norwegian coast will see prolonged rain along the coast, with cloudy and breezy conditions across inland Scandinavia.
