High pressure over Scandinavia sees much of northern and central Europe dry and sunny.

Monday
Spain and Portugal will be largely dry and fine with sunny spells. A few scattered showers affecting the Balearics though mostly dry later. Heavy showers and or longer spells of rain across the far south of Italy, drier elsewhere though likely to be rather cloudy. Heavy rain affecting many of the Balkans, parts of Greece and the Turkish resorts.
A better day across France though still rather breezy out. Dry and mostly fine too for the Low Countries and Germany, though feeling chilly in the wind. Rain affecting the very far south of Poland, otherwise dry but feeling cold in the wind. A few scattered showers across Austria and Switzerland but mostly dry yet windy here.
Dry and fine across Denmark, southern Sweden and southern Norway with light winds, possible mist patches about first thing though. Windier further north with showers affecting northwest Norway. Breezy across the Baltics and Finland though dry.

Tuesday
Dry and fine across Spain and Portugal with temperatures feeling very warm by the afternoon. More cloud and the risk of a shower or two across the Balearics and Italy though many staying dry with sunny spells. Staying unsettled across the Balkans, Greece and Turkey with heavy cloud and spells of rain.
A dry and fine day for many in northern Europe though feeling cooler than it should further east. SE France though looks to see localised heavy showers and gusty winds. A few mist and fog patches to start then widespread sunshine for many. Some patchy rain in the far northeast of Poland with cloudy skies and possible patchy rain across Hungary.
Dry and fine across Denmark again as well as throughout Sweden, Norway and Finland, though more cloud cover in the very north here. Possible slow moving showers to affect the Baltics otherwise dry here too.
