Much of Europe is largely settled, however, Scandinavia will see strengthened winds and wet conditions.

Sunday
A largely dry and fine day for the countries bordering the Mediterannean on Sunday. Some cloud over southern parts of Spain and Portugal but dry and bright conditions extend through Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Cyprus and Turkey.
A dry and largely fine day for France, Switzerland and Austria. Some cloud over northern France which extends in to the Low Countries. Patchy outbreaks of rain affect the northern Netherlands. Rain spreads into northern Germany too where it is also quite cloudy. Clody but dry for the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
A dry start for Denmark gives to rain as a front arrives from the west. This front also brings heavy outbreaks of rain and sleet into southern Norway. Staying drier further north. Patchy outbreaks of rain and sleet for Sweden before an area of heavier and more persistent rain arrives to the south. Early rain clears the Baltic States to leave a fair day here. Fair too for Finland with a scattering of showers.

Monday
Southern parts of Spain and Portugal could see more in the way of cloud with patchy oubreaks of rain. Breezy too across far southeastern areas. Elsewhere is looking dry and fine. Continuing dry through the Balearic Islands. Mostly dry across Italy although the odd isolated shower cannot be ruled out in the far south. Scattered showers developing across Greece and parts of Turkey.
A dry and fine day for France and the Netherlands, although becoming increasingly windy towards the coasts here. Mostly dry for Germany but more in the way of cloud and wind in the north. Dry and fine for Switzerland and Austria as well as down the Balkans. A cloudier and wet rain with outbreaks of rain affecting Poland into eastern Slovakia.
A brisk southwesterly to westerly wind blows throughout Scandinavia. Expect a mix of rain, sleet and snow to west Norway into northern parts of Sweden. Drier further south here. A wet and cloudy day for Finland with widespread rain. Rain should clear the Baltics through the day with drier and brighter weather following. A wet and cloudy start for Denmark but improving as the day progresses. Winds easing too.
